Recipe video above. This is a traditional Mexican version of Ceviche except it's not overly sour!! Actually, limes are typically less sour in Central and South America, than they are in Australia, the US and most Western countries, so I balance out the sour with olive oil. Avocado adds a deliciously creamy element, while the onion, tomato and coriander bring brightness to the dish. Serve sharing-style with corn chips, or in individual bowls for an elegant starter with crostini. Serves: 3 as a meal with corn chips or crostini, 5 - 6 as a starter
