Cauliflower Ceviche is a refreshing and vibrant dish that brings a twist to the traditional seafood ceviche. Perfect for those who are vegan or simply looking to try something new, this recipe uses cauliflower as a stand-in for fish, providing a similar texture and a delightful crunch. It’s a great appetizer or light meal, especially on warm days when you crave something cool and tangy. Serve it with tortilla chips or on tostadas for a fun and healthy treat.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumber, peeled and deseeded
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 avocados, sliced (for serving)
- Tortilla chips or tostadas (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 2-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain well.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Pour the lime juice over the mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it marinate for a couple of hours.
- Serve: Serve the cauliflower ceviche chilled, garnished with avocado slices. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or on tostadas.
