A vegan ceviche with hearts of palm, red onion and jalapeño sits un a shallow green bowl with a melamine fork. Some of the ceviche has been spooned onto tortilla chips on a separate plate.

Hearts of palm have a naturally flaky, tender texture that reminds me of a cross between cooked baby potatoes and artichoke hearts. They work really well as a substitute for seafood. One note: They’re often packed with citric acid, which can make them extra tangy—avocado adds creaminess to balance this tartness.

Ingredients

  • 1 398-mL can hearts of palm, drained and coarsely chopped

  • ¼ cup minced red onion

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 2 tbsp minced jalapeno

  • 2 tbsp minced cilantro

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ⅔ tsp kosher salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1 avocado, diced

Instructions

  • Stir hearts of palm with onion, lime juice and jalapeno in a medium bowl. Set aside for 10 to 15 min.

  • Stir in cilantro, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

  • Just before serving, gently fold in avocado.
