Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish consisting of marinated seafood with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. This vegetarian version uses the same idea, but uses chickpeas in place of the fish. It's a refreshing, veggie-packed appetizer or snack that's tossed with an aromatic, citrus vinaigrette. The canned chickpeas are packed with protein, and mixed with diced cucumber, red onion, tomato and pineapple, makes for a delicious, healthy topping for avocado "boats". This dish is great for a light lunch or first course, or serve it with tortilla chips to feed a crowd.

Mealthy Tip

You can also substitute mango for the pineapple, if you prefer it. Additionally, you can scoop the flesh out of the avocado and place in serving bowl instead of using the avocado shell as the vessel. If you'd like to serve as part of a salad, slice the avocados and stir in with the chickpea mixture.

Aja A says:

I'm not sure if I would necessarily call this a ceviche, but items that you may find in a ceviche. That aside, this was still a refreshing dish that I paired with a grilled salmon (served chilled). I picked a nice, ripe avocado and it gave this creaminess throughout that was needed. Would like this again with some tossed chilled medium-large shrimp or bay scallops.

Greg Jones says:

This vegan ceviche was really delicious, all the citrus juices together and the avocado! Loved the texture and flavor too.

Sarah Gray says:

Yummy vegan ceviche! Only ingredient I left out was pineapple, I'm allergic. Served it with homemade tortilla chips.

Jeremy Hughes says:

I served this in a bowl bowl instead of using the avocado shell, and I bought an extra avocado to slice and stir in with the chickpea mixture. Nothing like "ceviche" but good nonetheless, especially for lunch.

Jenny J says:

I used pineapple instead of mango, great suggestion. Not at all like ceviche, but still really good. I also used a whole jalapeno, seeds removed.
