The best vegan hearts of palm ceviche recipe with tomato, scallions, cilantro and lime. Perfect as an appetizer with your favorite chips or used in bite size mini tostadas topped with this exotic mango avocado salsa.
This recipe is to serve as a classic basic ceviche guide, something that you can literally whip up in 10 minutes and dig in. You can of course take advantage of what’s in season and mix in some avocado, mango, cucumber and even tiny wild mushrooms.
When the Batman went vegan I knew I had to experiment and come up with the most real tasting, real looking plant-based ceviche ever:
This Hearts of Palms Ceviche is It!
Since we are replacing fish with veggies we’ll also need to add just a little bit of healthier fat. In order to get as close to the real thing in taste and texture as possible I added a drizzle of flax seed oil. Totally optional and you can stick to your WFPB diet easily by just omitting the oil. Easy peasy!
note worthy: hearts of palm are literally the heart of a palm tree, reminiscent in taste of artichokes they pick up flavor well which makes them the perfect candidate for our vegan ceviche. They are a good source of plant protein, potassium, fiber, and vitamins C, B6 and riboflavin.
