Wheat Free No-Cook Ceviche
Bright, citrus-forward, and impossibly fresh, this ceviche is the kind of dish that tastes like it took hours but comes together in under half an hour without ever turning on the stove. Sushi-grade white fish — sea bass, halibut, or flounder all work beautifully — gets cubed and submerged in a punchy blend of fresh lime and lemon juice, which slowly turns the flesh opaque in the fridge while you prep the rest of the bowl. Red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and a whisper of ground cumin layer in heat, brightness, and depth, and creamy diced avocado folded in at the end ties everything together. The entire ingredient list is naturally free of wheat and gluten-containing grains, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required — just clean, whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. If you're serving guests who need to avoid wheat, skip the tortilla chips or swap in a certified gluten-free variety and the dish stays completely safe. This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your warm-weather rotation, whether you're cooking for dietary needs or just chasing something that tastes genuinely alive on the plate.

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.
