¼–½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 fresh serrano or jalapeño chili pepper, very finely chopped. Without seeds if you want less spicy
¾ cup fresh lime juice ( 4–6 limes) freshly squeezed ( try to use ripe limes)
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup diced cucumber or jicama

Directions: |
Directions:Slice the red onion very thinly and salt generously and let stand 15 minutes until it begins to release its liquid (this will remove the bitterness). Rinse well, squeeze dry.
Place fish, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, fresh chilies, and lime juice in a shallow serving bowl, and gently mix. Cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours, until a cube of fish no longer looks raw when broken open. The longer you marinate the firmer and more “cooked” the fish will become.
Before serving, gently toss in the fresh cilantro, cucumber/jicama, olives and tomato and a drizzle of olive oil, gently mix.
Taste for salt and add more if necessary. Gently fold in avocado at the end, after everything is mixed, making sure to use one that is not too soft. |

Notes: To cut the tartness of lime juice, you can add 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice or 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
