This version of ceviche is refreshing and more subtely flavored than traditional ceviche made with lemon/lime juice. This was a big hit with a crowd of critical ceviche eaters. I added some grated fennel, a sliced radish and a handful of chopped mint to the mix. The avocado makes this divine-dont leave it out!
