Ceviche de Abacate

Ceviche de Abacate is a refreshing and vibrant Brazilian dish that creatively substitutes seafood with creamy avocado, marinated in zesty lime and mixed with fresh vegetables. This vegetarian twist on traditional ceviche is both satisfying and packed with flavor, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Ripe avocados - 2 medium, diced
• Lime juice - 4 tablespoons
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped

• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Jalapeño - 1 small, finely chopped (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados with lime juice to prevent browning.

4. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and gently toss everything together.
