SCALLOP-AND-PLUM CEVICHE

Scallop-and-Plum Ceviche image

Ceviche is a perfect summer appetizer: light, refreshing and cooking-free. Citrus - sometimes lemon or bitter orange, but in this case lime - does the "cooking" for you. It doesn't get much simpler than this: a few minutes of chopping, a few seconds of stirring and a quarter of an hour of doing absolutely nothing.
