Wheat Free Citrus Tuna Ceviche
Bright, citrusy, and impossibly fresh, this ceviche is the kind of dish that makes a serious impression without requiring much time in the kitchen. Sushi-grade tuna gets a quick cure in a punchy blend of lime and orange juice with freshly grated ginger, turning each cube silky on the outside while staying tender at the center — it's a texture that's genuinely hard to beat. Crisp English cucumber, scallion greens, creamy avocado, and a handful of cilantro get folded in at the end, so every bite has contrast and brightness in equal measure. For anyone navigating a wheat-free lifestyle, ceviche is one of those rare crowd-pleasing dishes that's naturally built around whole, clean ingredients — no substitutions needed, no label-reading required. Every component here is straightforwardly grain-free, from the olive oil drizzle to the fresh lime zest that ties everything together. The technique is simple enough that even a first-timer can nail it: a short chill in the curing liquid, a careful fold, and it's ready to serve. Whether you're spooning it into lettuce cups, scooping it with plantain chips, or eating it straight from the bowl, this one disappears fast.

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.
