Generally, to prepare the ceviche fish and shellfish are used such as corvina, grouper, octopus, bonito, among others. That is why this tuna ceviche recipe is so original. In addition, it is ideal for those people who do not like the idea of eating raw fish, but want to try what ceviche tastes like.

Curious and extravagant ceviche dish brought from Latin American cultures that can be taken as a starter or as a side. Normally we usually see fish or tuna ceviches, marinated in lemon or lime juice, but the truth is that there are also meat ceviches, one of them is the sausage ceviche.

As we can see, ceviche can also be made with meats, chicken is no exception. But this dish put in doubt how to serve and make ceviche, because it is more of a chicken stew than a ceviche.

In case the meat ceviches surprised you, this mango ceviche will leave you impressed. Although we call it ceviche, it is like a refreshing salad, very healthy and low in calories. There are two aspects that we must take maximum care of to obtain the best flavor: on the one hand, choose mangoes that are at their optimum point of maturity; on the other hand, find the perfect point of acidity, for which it is better that we adjust the amount of lime juice.

All the preparations of this famous raw dish are extremely healthy, as is usually the case with vegetarian dishes. Some might even say that the fish versions are "better" because they have all that Omega 3 from fish. Mushrooms also have great properties, so if you are not in the mood to eat fish or shellfish, are allergic or vegetarian, vegan, this is a great alternative for you to try.

Eatings Habits

Breakfast 👌: For breakfast, I prefer eat light, a slice of toast with juice, bread with boiled egg or yogurt with cereal. I don´t like to eat meat in the morning, even if there aren´t any more to eat. I prefer drink only juice or yogurt. 

Lunch 😋: During the week I study at the University, so when I finish my classes I am so hungry and tired. At my house, the cook makes delicious meals, all of which I love 😻, such as the stuffed cause, seafood, baked chicken and others that I love. So, i eat twice or three times in the afternoon.

Dinner ✊: ok, uh, I hardly ever eat my dinner, because I'm not hungry, I exercise and my family almost every day buys junk food for dinner 😒. So, I don't like it, because I prefer to make a fruit juice or have a yogurt.
