Notes

Tips for making the best cauliflower ceviche at home!
  • Choose a small cauliflower head. Find one that is fresh and with no black markings.
  • Remove the green leaves and the core. Cut the cauliflower in small pieces.
  • If you prefer the cauliflower with a softer texture, blanch it before using it.
  • For blanching the cauliflower add enough water to a pasta pot with a strainer and let it boil.
  • Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 5-7 minutes. Take it out and place it in a bowl with ice to stop the cooking process.
  • Choose a firm avocado and do not slice or dice until ready to serve the ceviche.
  • A firm avocado is the one that has a deep green color, and it is firm to the touch.
  • Remove the little stem, and if the avocado has a bright green color is good to eat. If otherwise, the avocado looks brown, it is not good to use.
  • If you prefer a less spicy ceviche, remove the vein and the seeds of the jalapeno before chopping.
  • Olive oil is a heart-healthy option. When shopping for it, choose one with good quality, and that comes in a deep green, dark container.
