Tips

  • Make sure to refrigerate ceviche at least 2 hours before serving, ideally for at least 6 hours to allow flavors and juice to infuse evenly.
  • Mix ceviche around in bowl before serving to make sure all flavors are infused.
  • If you decide to make this ahead of time or for meal planning, it is best to add in avocados until time of serving to prevent discoloration and keep the bowl as fresh as possible. If this is going to be served within the same day then feel free to add in avocados and not worry about discoloration.

Summary

This is a nutritious and healthy dish you’ll feel happy to indulge in time and time again guilt free! It’s an easy, colorfully pleasing ceviche mix to impress with for a summertime party, barbecue, or for healthy meals. It’s full of a colorful range of vegetables for your daily intake of vitamins & minerals, avocados for your daily fat and protein, and lastly the chickpeas – these protein rich chickpeas will exceed your daily protein intake necessary as these babies are full of protein! Did you know that a cup of chickpeas contains over 40 grams of protein?! Talk about filling and sustainable!

Chickpeas

Before starting anything you will have to choose whether you will be using canned chickpeas or raw/dry chickpeas. I’ve used raw/dry chickpeas and if that is the case for you as well you will need to get your dry chickpeas and leave them soaking in a bowl of drinking water, fully submerged, for at least 4 hours so they can soften and expand to their “normal” size. In either case, the first step is to wash your chickpeas and once washed and ready to use, set aside in a large bowl.

Vegetables

You’ll love chopping away all the colors of the rainbow with this dish! The chopping of vegetables is the biggest portion of this dish but luckily it’s pretty straight forward as you’ll want to get all your vegetables diced into little cubes.

Orange juice & lime?! Yes, that’s correct!

This might come as a surprise, but these two will liven your bowl up like you’d never expect with delightful acidity!
