CEVICHE DE PESCADO (FISH SALAD COOKED IN LIME JUICE)
The appreciation of good food is one thing people all over the world have in common. When traveling around the world, dining on local cuisine is an important part of exploring different cultures and regions. On one of my first encounters with local cuisines from another country was in Lima, Peru. I had been invited there for business purposes by the then Minister of Health, Dr. Waldo Fernandez. Waldo and I had become friends when I was employed by St. Luke's/Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. As our friendship progressed, he had invited me to Peru, which I accepted My visit coincided with the convening of the Peruvian Congress of Cardiology at which I was invited to make a presentation. At the banquet that terminated the convention, I was introduced to the Peruvian National Drink - the "Pisco Sour." This drink was so delicious, I had to have the recipe and was given the original recipe by Waldo who had obtained it from the vineyard at Tabernero. I will publish this shortly. The next day, I was invited to visit the military hospital there in Lima by Dr. Jaime Contrerous, the Director of all the military hospitals in Peru. Dr. Contrerous invited me back into the patient exam area where he introduced me to a quite large gentleman on a treadmill. It turned out that this gentleman was the then "President for Life" or dictator. He was the last dictator of Peru before he stepped down and allowed free elections. "El Presidente" invited me to lunch at his personal golf course the next day. He sent his personal car to pick me up and deliver me to the golf course. When I arrived, I found a marvelous wonderland of flowers that I had never seen before. Birds of Paradise were everywhere. I was startled to see peons everywhere watering each flower by hand with huge water buckets. Other peons were cutting the grass on the course by hand using giant scissors! El Presidente had his staff set up tables on the 18th green and we were served lunch there. The first course turned out to be ceviche made with the local langostinos. Except for the sushi I had in Japan, I had never eaten raw fish before. Then El Presidente explained that the lime juice that was used in the preparation actually cooked the fish. It was so delicious, I asked for the recipe and was granted it.

AHI TUNA AND BABY SHRIMP CEVICHE W/PAPAYA SALAD AND COCONUT
Ceviche is a non-cook prep method, letting the fish marinate and cook in citrus juices. The original recipe calls for Hamachi - also know as Amberjack - but this fish is not recognized by food.com. If you find it, use 1/2 cup of each type of fish. The ceviche needs to marinate for 1 hour so please plan ahead. Time for marinating is included in prep time.

HEALTHY TUNA SALAD OR TUNA CEVICHE
This recipe has been called both tuna salad but it really has little that resembles the typical tuna salad. My friends have also called it tuna ceviche and it would be a little more accurate at describing what this is. Is really healthy and it goes well with crackers or on tostadas. I make very little because I'm the only one who eats it so feel free to double or triple the recipe for bigger parties.

KALE CEVICHE SALAD (ENGINE 2)
From the Engine 2 cookbook, this is one of their most popular recipes. It asks for the kale to be massaged. And that means really squishing the fibers with your hands to soften them. The leaves are waxy, so massaging them with the salt and lemon juice makes them much tastier.

CEVICHE SALAD
Don't let the term ceviche scare you. Simply, ceviche is a dish made from chopped seafood that's marinated in fresh juice (like lime or lemon) and spices. As the dish marinates, the seafood absorbs the flavors and becomes opaque. This version uses shrimp and it's a refreshing salad. Simple to make, it's tangy with a kick of...

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl add chopped tomatoes, cilantro, sweet onion, seeded jalapenos, garlic, and shrimp. Add sea salt, olive oil, a dash of white wine vinegar, and lime juice into a bowl. Mix well.
- 2. Add chopped avocado and mix again. Taste to see if you need more salt or more lime juice. Best to let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. Serve over an avocado half with crushed tortilla chips on top.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest fish possible: The quality of your fish will make a big difference in the flavor of your ceviche salad. Look for fish that is firm and has a bright, shiny appearance. Avoid fish that is dull or has a slimy texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fish: This will help to prevent the fish from tearing and will give you clean, even pieces.
- Marinate the fish in citrus juice for at least 30 minutes: This will help to cook the fish and give it a bright, tangy flavor. You can use any type of citrus juice, but lime juice is the most traditional.
- Add other ingredients to your ceviche salad as desired: Common additions include red onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and avocado. You can also add cooked shrimp, scallops, or octopus.
- Serve ceviche salad immediately: Ceviche salad is best enjoyed fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours, but the fish will continue to cook in the citrus juice and the flavor will change.
Conclusion:
Ceviche salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover fish. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious ceviche salad that your friends and family will love.
