Citrusy Cauliflower Ceviche is a great twist on the traditional seafood dish. It’s light and fresh, and you can eat with with chips, but it’s also great on top of tacos & salads.
Cauliflower is the perfect seafood sub in ceviche
Contrary to popular belief, ceviche needn’t include any seafood to be considered “authentic,” or more importantly, to be considered delicious.
Tender cauliflower florets make a surprisingly satisfying base for this bold, fresh, and citrusy dish.
Starting with frozen cauliflower means you can step away from the stove and stay cool, since it’s already par-cooked. Beat the heat with this instant, effortless party starter!
Mexican vs. Peruvian Ceviche
This distinctive combination of vegetables and seasonings makes a Mexican-style ceviche; if you’d like to try a Peruvian-inspired ceviche, swap the jalapeño for a spicier aji pepper, omit the avocado and cucumber, and add ½ – 1 cup of fresh white corn instead.
