Ceviche


I have been super busy with school and was sick and tired of laboring over the grill and the stove all day.  My fiance is from Peru and when we go there we gorge ourselves on the most delicious ceviche the coast has to offer.  It's like summer on a plate, cold, refreshing and tart.  It's also SUPER delicious, SUPER healthy and SUPER easy and SUPER gorgeous...the superfecta of the perfect meal.
Serve it up with 1/2 an avocado (sliced into strips) and sweet potato cubes sprayed with Pam and dusted with cinnamon, cayenne powder, and Himalayan sea salt then roasted in a 425 degree oven for about 40 min (turn halfway through).
