Citrus Crab Ceviche
A bright, refreshing ceviche featuring sweet crab meat "cooked" in citrus juices with cucumber, jalapeño, and fresh herbs.
Instructions
- 1
Soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite, then drain.
- 2
In a large glass bowl, combine crab meat with lime, lemon, and orange juices. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- 3
Add cucumber, drained red onion, jalapeño, and most of the cilantro. Gently toss.
- 4
Just before serving, fold in avocado and tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
- 5
Serve immediately in chilled glasses or bowls, topped with remaining cilantro. Offer tortilla chips on the side.
Chef's Tips
- Since crab is already cooked, this is technically a salad—no need for long marinating.
- Add diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
- Serve in lettuce cups or on tostadas for a lighter option.
