Ceviche Recipe – 5 Point Value – No Cook Appetizer Recipe!

Ceviche is SO yummy! If you’ve never had it before, you are really missing out. Ceviche a form of citrus-marinated seafood dish, popular in mainly Latin American countries. No cooking is required for this dish, so it’s easy to prepare and is a great dish to make for a party or picnic. Ceviche is marinated in a citrus-based mixture, with lemons and limes being the most commonly used. In addition to adding flavor, the citric acid causes the proteins in the seafood to become denatured, which pickles or “cooks” the fish without heat. Traditional style Ceviche was marinated up to 3 hours. Modern style Ceviche usually has a very short marinating period. It’s super high in protein, yet very low in calories and Weight Watchers Points. And with all the veggies and lime juice, it’s incredibly healthy and high in antioxidants!
Though it’s most often served as an appetizer, I’ve prepared it as a main dish many times. It tastes so light and fresh, but is actually quite filling. And with just 5 Points, this is a great appetizer recipe that won’t break your Points bank. Give this Weight Watchers Ceviche recipe a try ASAP — you’ll be really glad you did!
