Bright, citrusy, and loaded with fresh heat, this scallop ceviche is the kind of dish that feels like a restaurant splurge but comes together in your own kitchen with almost no effort. The scallops cure entirely in fresh lime juice — no heat required — turning opaque and tender while soaking up every bit of that acidic punch. Jalapeño, red onion, and crisp Persian cucumber add layers of texture and a clean, vibrant flavor that makes each bite feel alive. A tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil is the only fat in play here, which means you're completely clear of the refined seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought dressings, marinades, and restaurant versions of this dish. Diced avocado folded in at the end adds a creamy richness that rounds everything out beautifully. Serve it in small bowls or glasses and it doubles effortlessly as an appetizer or a light, satisfying main.

Place the scallops in a large mixing bowl. Pour the lime juice over them, making sure all scallops are submerged or nearly so. Cover and refrigerate for 20–25 minutes, until the scallops are opaque throughout with no translucent center remaining — they will feel slightly firm when pressed.
While the scallops cure, combine the jalapeño, red onion, and cucumber in a separate bowl.
