"This can be eaten on tostadas, as a dip for chips, or if you are on a diet like I am, it can be eaten as a refreshing salad or in lettuce wraps."

It's a great idea to keep half of the lime in the bowl with the rest of ingredients to allow a perfect mix of flavors. Excellent!!

This was excellent! Reminds me of the ceviche I had in Costa Rica - really nice blend of flavours, especially as a fan of cilantro.
