Take a look and this deliciously bright and colourful vegan ceviche! It’s made with hearts of palm, avocado, citrus fruits, red onion, and cilantro. Mr. Two Spoons and I devoured the whole bowl, and I’ll certainly be making it again this weekend.
In addition, as the warm weather approaches, it’s a bright and tangy dish that you can serve as an appetizer, snack or side-salad.
Overall this recipe is light, refreshing, citrusy and so easy to make. I love to dip tortilla chips into it for a delicious crunch! So, let me tell you exactly how to can make this easy vegan ceviche.
This vegan ceviche makes for a great summer appetizer, side-salad or snack! Think outdoor barbecues or family hang-outs.
The recipe is:
The hearts of palm and citrus fruits add a lovely texture to this seafood-free ceviche, so that you get a similar sensation to the traditional, yet it’s completely vegan. I also love the addition of avocado for a little creaminess to the recipe. It’s a wonderful compliment to the citrusy flavours.
Hearts of palm is a delicious, crunchy vegetable harvested from the centre of cabbage palm tree. If you haven’t tried them before, the taste and texture is a bit like white asparagus. The flavour is really delicate, creamy and slightly nutty.
Not only is the flavour great for this recipe, but the look resembles calamari, making it a welcomed addition to this dish. I love to use hearts of palm not only in this dish but other salad recipes too. Toss some in just as you would any other vegetable.
You can find hearts of palm at most grocery stories in the canned vegetables section (with the peas, corn etc.). They’re already cooked when canned, so you can simply drain, rinse and slice. Check out this article from The Spruce Eats for more about hearts of palm.
Making this vegan ceviche couldn’t be simpler! Add all the fresh ingredients into a mixing bowl, drizzle with lime juice and olive, toss and serve. As you can see, it’s such an easy recipe, which is why I have given it my newbie cook stamp of approval.
The hardest part of the recipe is the chopping and slicing. So turn on your favourite tunes and chop chop away! I actually find it pretty therapeutic; I’m not going to lie.

Made this, it was great! I love ceviche, and thought the hearts of palm substituted perfectly for seafood, and of course the vegetarians in the group loved it! I will definitely make again.
