This ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or light lunch. The fish is marinated in lime juice, which cooks it gently and gives it a bright, citrusy flavor.

Ceviche is a dish that originated in Peru, and it is typically made with fresh fish that is marinated in lime juice. The acid in the lime juice cooks the fish gently, and the result is a dish that is both flavorful and refreshing. Ceviche is often served as an appetizer or light meal, and it is a popular dish in many Latin American countries. I first had ceviche when I was traveling in Peru, and I was immediately hooked. I love the bright, citrusy flavor of the fish, and the combination of textures and flavors in the dish is simply amazing. I have since tried many different ceviche recipes, and this one is my favorite. It is simple to make, and it always turns out perfectly.
