Ceviche Verde
A great refreshing light meal, snack or appetizer.
Ceviche Verde means green ceviche. The original recipe calls for only green tomatillos (they add great flavor!) but I also like to add a handful of chopped red tomatoes for a pop of color.
Makes about 4 snack or appetizer servings.
Ingredients:
- 14 oz. can hearts of palm
- ½ cup green olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- ½ cup tomatillo, chopped
- 1-2 limes, juiced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped or sliced (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 medium to large avocado, diced
- optional: chopped cherry tomatoes and extra cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
- Cut hearts of palm into ½ inch cubes and place in medium bowl.
- Add all other ingredients except avocado and stir to combine. Start with the juice of one lime, tasting and adding more if desired. Let rest for 30 minutes to 2 hours for flavors to combine.
- Before serving, add diced avocado, stirring gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with tomato and cilantro if desired. Serve with veggie chips or tortilla chips.
