Seed Oil Free No-Cook Ceviche
Bright, citrus-soaked, and impossibly fresh, this ceviche is the kind of dish that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. Sushi-grade white fish gets cubed and submerged in a generous pour of fresh lime and lemon juice, which does all the "cooking" for you — no stove, no oven, no heat required. Red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, and creamy diced avocado round out the flavors in a way that feels both vibrant and deeply satisfying. For anyone avoiding industrially processed cooking oils, this recipe is a natural fit — every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed, with zero need for anything that comes out of a bottle with a long ingredient list. The citrus marinade is the star, and it keeps things clean and sharp without any shortcuts. Serve it straight from the bowl with tortilla chips or just a spoon, and don't wait — the avocado is best the moment it hits the dish.

Instructions
- 1
Use only sushi-grade or sashimi-grade fish labeled safe for raw consumption — this recipe relies entirely on acid marination, not heat, to denature the fish proteins. Cut the fish into ½-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Add the lime juice, lemon juice, and kosher salt to the bowl and stir to coat every piece of fish. The fish should be fully submerged in the citrus juice; add a splash more lime juice if needed.
