How to make vegan ceviche
Making vegan ceviche is so simple and requires no cooking!
Chop your veg! The first step to making your vegan ceviche is chopping your veg. I like to dice the tomatoes, bell pepper and mango into small cubes and dice the jalapeno and red onion finely. Then I chop the avocado into big chunks, because who doesn’t love a mouthful of avocado?! I also like to slice the hearts of palm. They typically come in a cylinder shape, making them quite easy to slice.
Mix it up. Once your ingredients have been sliced, add them all to a large bowl. Drizzle on your olive oil (or omit if oil free), squeeze on that lime juice and season with salt and pepper!
Yes, it’s that easy! Go run to the kitchen to make it!
What the heck is heart of palm?
You may be asking, Steph, this recipe sounds great but I’ve got to ask, what the heck is hearts of palm? And have no fear I had no idea what they were for the longest time! Hearts of palm is actually a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm trees. These include the coconut, juçara, açaí palm, palmetto, and peach palm! They come packed in a can in these little white cylinders that have a meaty texture and are slightly salted. They are typically used in vegan cooking as fish substitute, making them the perfect addition for our vegan ceviche!
How to eat vegan ceviche
Although this vegan ceviche tastes amazing right off the spoon, it tastes even better eaten one of these fancy ways:
Used as a dip. Use some tortilla chips, rice crackers, or sliced cucumber to use this ceviche as a fresh summer dip!
Topped on tacos! This vegan ceviche is the perfect addition to any taco, burrito, or wrap! It adds a level of freshness similar to a mango salsa!
On top of some crostini. Try toasting up some French baguette and popping on some of this vegan ceviche! This may have to be my favorite way to eat it!
