Citrusy Cauliflower 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!

Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen cauliflower
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes diced
- 1 seedless English cucumber diced
- 1 medium avocado diced
- 1/2 small red onion finely diced
- 1/2-1 jalapeno deseeded & minced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower into small pieces, roughly the size of raisins. It’s good to leave a good variety chunks for a more satisfying overall texture.
- Place the cauliflower, lime juice, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Season with salt to taste and serve chilled.
Notes
Serving suggestion: Ceviche is an unbeatable appetizer scooped up with tortilla chips, but it’s also a fantastic addition to many meals. Try it on top of tacos, tostadas, or salads, too.
Notes: 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.
