ceviche you can use the exact same ingredients. cut the fish a bit smaller... i would say a large dice

in a bowl combine the sliced peppers, onions, and cucumber season with salt add a generous amount of fresh squeezed lime juice add the cut fish and gently mix to combine let sit for a minute or 2 drizzle with a bit of olive oil gently mix again taste plate garnish with avocado and cilantro leaves
NOTES: add 1 tablespoon of tequila or mezcal to the marinade... thinly sliced ginger works well with this add radishes to the garnish a couple tablespoons of coconut milk is also most delicious
the important thing is to let the acid cook the fish a bit in the case of ceviche, and flavor the fish in the case of crudo. both are delicious, perhaps the crudo might be considered fancier... and of course the ceviche is great with tortilla chips
