andIngredients:
  • 1 cup hearts of palm sliced into small rounds (use fresh, canned, or jarred)
  • 1 small sweet onion (like Vidalia) quartered and sliced (Note my onions were larger so I only used ½ of the onion)
  • 2 small sweet red peppers, cut into ¼ inch dices (can use any pepper you have hear but the more colorful the better)
  • ¼ small habanero pepper, seeded and minced.  (can be omitted for a gentler ceviche or I use a tiny pinch of dried crushed red pepper to give it some heat)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (can use a combination of cilantro and parsley, or just parsley depending on what you have on hand)
  • Juice of 1-2 limes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
