Ceviche is a traditional Peruvian dish that is made with raw fish that is marinated in citrus juices. The fish is then cooked by the acid in the juices, and the result is a delicious and refreshing dish. This vegan ceviche is a twist on the traditional dish, and uses tofu instead of fish. The tofu is first pressed to remove excess water, and then it is cubed and marinated in a mixture of citrus juices, red onion, green bell pepper, orange bell pepper, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. The ceviche is then refrigerated for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. Before serving, the avocado is stirred in. This vegan ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal.
