Delicious and super healthy, can’t go wrong with this recipe. Ceviche can be made from Shrimp or Fish .

Cut raw fish into bite size pieces and place in deep dish and cover with lime juice. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Then add all remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until serving time. Drain, reserve liquid, and serve.Keeps well, so don’t throw away juice when serving. Keep it to put leftovers in. It is the soaking in the lime juice which “cooks” the fish. I can eat this every day, love it !
