For the past few years, I've been somewhat obsessed with "heart healthy" foods (especially dark chocolate and red wine, but that's for another time). I was thrilled when we came up with this delicious, heart-healthy meal that's perfect for welcoming summertime.
Salmon and tilapia ceviche in endive leaves lined with smashed avocado. Can you say Omega 3? Loads of it. This is super easy to make, too! And requires NO cooking! You make true ceviche by marinating tiny pieces of fish in tons of lemon and lime juice, and the citrus cooks the fish for you overnight in the refrigerator. I have to say, salmon tastes much much better when it's cooked this way; it doesn't get dry like it does in the oven or stovetop. Creamy avocado is the perfect accompaniment to the citrusy fish, and crispy endive cups are a perfectly healthy substitute (and much tastier, in my opinion) for chips.
We had our ceviche with bowls of cool homemade gazpacho soup, which is typically made with tomato, cucumber, and green pepper. Ours also had watermelon in it. Vegetables are great for your heart too, I'm sure of it. Tomatoes have lycopene...I'm sure that means something.
Doesn't this look delicious? I could eat it every week. And my heart would love me for it!
