A vibrant dish on a white, ceramic plate: glossy chunks of 'cooked' white fish brightly speckled with small cuts of red tomatoes and green jalapenos. Coriander leaves are sprinkled for a fresh greenness against the white, and red onions lend a beautiful purple pop of color. A spoonful of creamy guacamole and a side of crispy corn chips add a textural contrast.

A final fox tip

Ceviche originates from Peru but is enjoyed in many Latin countries. Each country having their twist. This version draws from Mexican flavors. Fun Fact: The term Ceviche is possibly derived from the Quechua word 'siwichi'. You can modify this recipe by adding tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for some sweetness. Also, this is a no-cook recipe, making it fun for kids to help without worrying about the stove or oven.
