Tuna Ceviche, Asian-Style

Submitted by januarybride

"This is SO good! It is a traditional ceviche with the citrus juice that "cooks" the fish, however it has soy sauce and ginger which is so wonderful paired with tuna. Simple, healthy and tasty too! It is adapted to my liking from a recipe I found on allrecipes.com. P.S. Feel free to add some minced jalapeno pepper if you like it hot."

Very pretty presentation, with the colors of the tuna, avocado, and mango cubes. However, to my taste, there is too much going on. The flavorings don't quite work together, and the marinade taste overwhelms the tuna. I might try without the diced onion, and a little less of the green onion.
