Vegan Hearts of Palm Ceviche

July 5, 2016 By Carrots and Flowers

vegan hearts of palm ceviche

Welcome to my latest summer obsession… Vegan hearts of palm ceviche! It’s light, tangy, and flavorful. The recipe takes only ten minutes to prepare. It tastes so close to the real thing, but no little fishies were harmed in the making of this hearts of palm ceviche. šŸ™‚

I used to work at a Spanish tapas restaurant and I looooooved their ceviche. It’s such a wonderful dish. I mean, lime juice is the best thing ever, am I right? What makes this hearts of palm ceviche immensely better than the seafood variety is that A) as mentioned, no fish, shrimp, or scallops were harmed in the making of this dish. Still eating fish? I implore you to reconsider. Recent studies predict our oceans will be depleted of fish by the year 2048! This will lead to devastating effects on the food chain, environment, etc. So give up the fish! Make this hearts of palm ceviche instead! Now onto more reasons why this ceviche is better.. šŸ˜‰

B) It’s ready immediately after mixing the ingredients together. No more waiting for lime juice to slowly cook your seafood. This hearts of palm ceviche is ready to be instantly and excitedly devoured. Eat it with chips, salad, or straight out of the bowl with a spoon.

C) Seafood is expensive! Hearts of palm isn’t the cheapest vegetable on the market, but it is quite a bit more affordable than quality scallops and shrimp. Check this ingredients list, it’s so simple! I made the recipe for a crowd. It serves 4-5 as a main dish salad or 8-10 as an appetizer.

    OOOO YUMMY! I love hearts of palm but always just end up eating them straight out of the jar/can. Can’t wait to try this and use them in a better way :)!

    So I made this for a dinner party last month with a few substitutions. I don’t like red onion, so I subbed a bit of onion powder to taste, omitted the bellpepper and also halved the recipe since there weren’t so many of us and there were several other side dishes. I had NONE leftover and even had a particularly picky-eater friend ask for the recipe. Next time I will probably add a bit of chopped cabbage. With that said, I love this dish!

    I just made this and it’s delicious! Thanks! The limes I had were super juicy and I found four to be excessive, so next time I’ll use two or three. I also used just half a red onion which was enough. And it makes a lot, which is great for a party, barbeque or big family but for just one or two people it could be halved. šŸ™‚

    We have made this recipe many times and it is excellent. Today we made it to take to a birthday party. I had overlooked the jalepenos, but we poured in some brine from a jar of jalepeno pickles. It was really good! Not up to the fresh, chopped peppers, but useful in a pinch. Thanks so much for this awesome recipe. I have missed the ceviche I used to eat with the sturgeon in it. I think this is much better!

    We made this for Valentine’s Day; it is soooooo good! So healthy, filling and tasty that I’ve sent this link to everyone this morning. We made it with hearts of palm medallions because those were a lot cheaper at Trader Joe’s. I’ll probably try it with the regular ones next time (because variety is the spice of life), but the medallions were still A+.

    I often visit your website and have noticed that you don’t update it often. More frequent updates will give your page higher rank &
    authority in google. I know that writing posts takes a lot of time, but
    you can always help yourself with miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of

    I’ve made this a few times already and it’s a no brainer for anyone looking for a vegan ceviche alternative. It has lots of flavor and the texture of the hearts of palm is as close as you’ll get to fish. And as mentioned in the post, it’s great not having to wait for anything to cook. All you have to do is chop everything and toss it together. I love putting it on tostadas and topping it with some habanero sauce.

    I made it. It was good. I wonder though if you meant 2 14 oz jars of hearts of palm. I couldn’t find any 20 oz jars and went with the two 14 oz. Also cut the red onion in half. Worked fine. Amazing flavor right after mixing. This makes A LOT! Perfect for a party.

      I wondered the same thing. I’ve made this before and just used three jars but not all of the hearts in that last jar. In the end I don’t think it really matters if you use 2 or 3 jars. The Trader Joe’s jar that’s in the pic only has the 14.5oz size. Either way, this is such a great recipe and is always a hit at parties.

    Great recipe! Added kelp. Everyone enjoyed it including a hearts of palm’s hater. I served it with tortilla chips and super thin jicama rounds to make tacos. Thank you!
