VEGAN HEARTS OF PALM "CEVICHE"



Vegan Hearts of Palm

In traditional ceviche, raw fish is "cooked" with citrus juice. In this vegan version, hearts of palm take the place of the fish-and they don't technically need to get cooked at all! Instead, their creamy, vegetal flavor soaks up the citrus marinade. While ceviche originates in Peru, this flavor profile is more like versions of ceviche you'll find in Mexico.

VEGAN HEARTS OF PALM CEVICHE



Vegan Hearts of Palm Ceviche image

This light vegan ceviche with hearts of palm, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro gets its spice from serrano peppers. You can serve it in a jar with chips or as a topping over tostadas. Even though you can eat the ceviche right away, it tastes best after it has been chilled for a couple of hours in the fridge. [Recipe originally submitted to Allrecipes.com.mx]
