Impress your friends and family at your next gathering with this Tuna Ceviche recipe. This fresh tuna recipe makes for a perfect high-protein snack on a hot day.
Ceviche originated from the coastal regions of Central and South America. While every recipe is a little different, most of them contain fresh fish, shrimp, squid, or any other seafood drenched in a citrus marinade. Feel free to switch up the tuna with your choice of seafood and add extra lime juice as needed to the seafood to balance the taste.
Try going to your local fish or farmers market to pick up the tuna for this recipe. The fresher the fish, the more nutrients and overall taste you will get. Want to make the most out of this dish? Save some ceviche for an added source of protein to your next salad or bowl, or pair it with these PaleoFLEX™ Tortilla Chips as a tasty appetizer.
Tip:
- If you’re prepping this for a takeaway lunch or dish, store the lime juice separately in a Ziplock bag or jar. Package everything else in a different container and squeeze or pour in the lime juice when you’re ready to eat.
- Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
