Peanut Free White Fish Ceviche with Turmeric & Ginger
Fresh citrus does all the heavy lifting here, "cooking" the fish through a simple acid cure that transforms raw white fish into something silky, bright, and completely craveable. The combination of turmeric and ginger gives this ceviche a warm, golden depth that sets it apart from the usual lime-only versions, while jalapeño and red onion bring just enough heat and bite to keep things lively. Creamy avocado and cool cucumber fold in at the end, adding texture and balance that make every spoonful feel complete. Because this dish is built entirely from whole, fresh ingredients — fish, citrus, vegetables, herbs, and olive oil — there are no hidden additives or shared-facility concerns to stress over. It's naturally free of nuts in every sense, with nothing processed or packaged that could introduce cross-contact risk. This is the kind of recipe that looks impressive enough for a dinner party but comes together with minimal effort and a cutting board. Serve it straight from the bowl with extra lime wedges and watch it disappear fast.
