Bright, citrusy, and impossibly fresh, this ceviche is the kind of dish that makes a warm evening feel like a celebration. Sushi-grade tuna gets a quick cure in fresh lime and orange juice with a hit of grated ginger, turning beautifully opaque on the outside while staying silky and tender at the center. Crisp cucumber, scallion greens, creamy avocado, and a handful of cilantro and mint get folded in at the end, so every bite has contrast and life. The whole thing comes together with just a drizzle of olive oil and a little lime zest to tie it all together — no cooking required, no complicated technique. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, ceviche is one of those recipes that can still feel risky when restaurant versions sneak in unexpected garnishes or sauces. This one keeps it clean: every ingredient is straightforward, whole, and easy to verify at the store. There's nothing hiding in a sauce packet or a pre-made marinade — just citrus, fresh herbs, and good fish. Serve it straight from the bowl the moment it's ready, because the avocado is at its best immediately and the textures are worth protecting.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 lb sushi-grade tuna, cut into ½-inch cubes
½ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
½ tsp fine sea salt
1 medium english cucumber, seeded and diced small
3 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna cubes, lime juice, orange juice, grated ginger, and sea salt. Toss gently to coat every piece of tuna evenly.
2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 12–15 minutes, until the tuna cubes are opaque on the outside but still have a slightly translucent, tender center — they should feel firm to a gentle press but not rubbery.
