This ceviche inspired salad is a beautiful and vibrant explosion of colour that celebrates summer like no other salad. It’s tangy from lots of lime and super fresh with an array of summer vegetables. I make it in two layers, the first with courgette and the second a vibrant mix of vegetables and peach ceviche style meaning it is all immersed in a delicious mixture of lime, chili, coriander and salt. This combination of flavours brings so much life to this salad and for that I have to thank Peru! That is where ceviche originates from and where it serves a the national dish. Traditionally it’s made with white fish or other seafood and is made in many countries around South- and Latin America. This salad contains no living creature however and is full to the brim with colourful vegetables instead with a sweet touch from one of my favourite summer fruits. Enjoy!
