Artificial Food Coloring Free Scallop Ceviche with Lime and Jalapeño

Bright, citrusy, and just enough heat to keep things interesting, this scallop ceviche is the kind of dish that looks impressive but comes together with almost no effort. Fresh lime juice does all the heavy lifting, gently curing the bay scallops until they're opaque and tender without a single burner turned on. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — real produce, good olive oil, sea salt — so there's no reason to squint at a label or wonder what's hiding in a seasoning packet. The jalapeño and red onion bring a sharp, lively bite, while cucumber keeps things cool and refreshing, and the optional avocado adds a creamy richness that rounds everything out beautifully. It's naturally free of synthetic dyes because the color comes entirely from the ingredients themselves: the blush of cured scallops, the deep green of cilantro and avocado, the vivid red of onion. Serve it in small glasses for a stunning appetizer or pile it into a bowl for a light, satisfying meal that tastes like it came from a coastal restaurant.
