Walnut 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 feels like a restaurant appetizer but comes together in your own kitchen with minimal effort. Fresh lime juice does all the heavy lifting here, slowly curing the bay scallops until they turn opaque and tender without any heat required. The combination of jalapeño, red onion, and cucumber brings crunch and a little fire, while cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil round everything out beautifully. If you want to mellow the heat and add some richness, the optional diced avocado folds in perfectly at the end. Tree nut allergies can make seafood dishes tricky when restaurants sneak in unexpected garnishes or infused oils, but every single ingredient here is clean, straightforward, and easy to verify. Serve it in small glasses or bowls for a stunning starter that looks far more impressive than the effort it actually takes.
