Tofu Ceviche

Tofu Ceviche is a refreshing and vibrant vegan twist on the classic seafood dish, featuring marinated tofu that mimics the texture and flavor of fish. Bursting with citrusy goodness and fresh herbs, this dish is perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Lime juice - 60 ml
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, quartered
• Cucumber - 100 grams, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Jalapeño pepper - 1 small, finely chopped (optional)
• Avocado - 1 small, diced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes, then cut it into small cubes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, salt, and black pepper, and add the tofu cubes. Toss gently to coat and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
3. While the tofu marinates, prepare the vegetables: finely chop the red onion, quarter the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and chop the cilantro.
4. After the marination, add the chopped vegetables, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and olive oil to the tofu bowl. Gently mix until combined.
5. Finally, fold in the diced avocado just before serving to maintain its texture. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
