Ceviche is a popular dish in Latin America and is typically made with raw fish or seafood that is marinated in citrus juice. The acid from the citrus juice cooks the fish or seafood, giving it a slightly firm texture while keeping it tender and flavorful. Ceviche is often served with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and other seasonings for added taste and texture. It is a refreshing and light dish that is perfect for hot summer days or as a vibrant appetizer.
