Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the hearts of palm. Drain and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces resembling chunks of tuna.

Step 2

Step 3

3. Add the chopped hearts of palm to the bowl with the chickpeas.

Step 4

4. To the bowl, add the finely diced red onion, diced Roma tomato, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, and crumbled nori sheet.

Step 5

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. If using jalapeño, stir it into the dressing now.

Step 6

6. Pour the dressing over the mixture in the large bowl and gently combine everything until well coated with the citrus marinade.

Step 7

7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

8. Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 9

9. Serve the Vegan Tuna Ceviche chilled, garnished with diced avocado. Enjoy it with tortilla chips, tostadas, or on its own as a light and refreshing dish.
