Vegan Hearts of Palm

In traditional ceviche, raw fish is "cooked" with citrus juice. In this vegan version, hearts of palm take the place of the fish-and they don't technically need to get cooked at all! Instead, their creamy, vegetal flavor soaks up the citrus marinade. While ceviche originates in Peru, this flavor profile is more like versions of ceviche you'll find in Mexico.
