When I think of my favorite fresh summer meals as a kid, ceviche is definitely at the top of my list. Unfortunately, ever since I became vegan, I have had to stay away from it, although on occasion I still gladly make it for friends or family who request it. It's kind of my quick-fix meal that gets me out of a rut when I don't have time to cook or if the day is too hot and I don't want to use the stove.
Well. the day I made this Vegan Avocado Ceviche was indeed a hot summer day, and friends were soon coming over so to compromise with those who are not vegan, I ended up making 2 different bowls of ceviche; one with imitation crab, the other with avocado. The outcome? To my surprise, the Vegan Avocado Ceviche received more praise than the other. I guess l can't say that I was too surprised. Right? I'll let you be the judge.
