A Fresh & Flavorful Summer Favorite
There’s something about ceviche that just feels like summer. It’s fresh, colorful, citrusy, and perfect for those warm days when turning on the oven is the very last thing anyone wants to do.
Fresh lime brings plenty of bright, tart flavor, while tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and other crisp vegetables add freshness and texture. Creamy avocado balances all that citrus beautifully, and then comes our favorite part — a drizzle of Baklouti Pepper Olive Oil.
It gives this easy summer ceviche a warm peppery finish without taking away from all those fresh ingredients.

Why Baklouti Pepper Olive Oil Works So Well
Traditional ceviche already has plenty of fresh, vibrant flavor, so we don't want to cover that up. That's exactly why Baklouti Pepper Olive Oil works so beautifully here.
Instead of adding heat in just one bite, the infused olive oil distributes that peppery flavor throughout the dish. A little drizzle adds warmth and richness while still allowing the fresh seafood, lime, vegetables, and herbs to shine.
And because you control how much you add, it’s easy to adjust the heat to suit your taste. Start with a little and add more if you're feeling spicy. 🌶️
Make It Your Own
One of the best things about homemade ceviche is how easy it is to customize. Use what looks freshest at the market or add a few extras depending on what you're craving.
- Add diced mango or pineapple for a sweet and spicy tropical twist.
- Add cucumber for even more fresh crunch.
- Mix in diced bell pepper for extra color.
- Add a little more Baklouti Pepper Olive Oil if you like extra heat.
- Top with additional avocado just before serving.
- Serve in lettuce cups for a light and refreshing presentation.
- Spoon it onto crispy tostadas for an easy summer meal.
How to Serve Summer Ceviche
Give us a big bowl of ceviche and a basket of tortilla chips and we're pretty happy. But there are plenty of other delicious ways to serve it.
Try spooning it onto crisp tostadas, serving it in lettuce cups, or portioning it into small glasses for an easy party appetizer. You can even serve it over a bed of greens for a light summer lunch.
Add some extra avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges on the side and you've got a colorful dish that looks just as good as it tastes.
Can You Make Ceviche Ahead of Time?
Ceviche does need time in the refrigerator for the seafood to marinate, but it’s best enjoyed fresh rather than prepared too far in advance.
You can chop many of your vegetables ahead of time and keep them refrigerated separately. Add delicate ingredients like avocado closer to serving so they stay fresh and vibrant.
Because ceviche uses raw seafood, always start with very fresh seafood from a trusted source, keep it properly refrigerated, and follow appropriate food-safety guidance when preparing and serving it.
Perfect for Summer Entertaining
This fresh ceviche is such a fun option for backyard gatherings, summer dinners, taco night, poolside entertaining, or anytime you want an appetizer that feels special without feeling heavy.
It also looks beautiful on the table. All those bright vegetables, fresh herbs, creamy avocado, and citrus make it naturally colorful — no complicated presentation required.
Serve it alongside guacamole, salsa, tortilla chips, grilled seafood, tacos, or your favorite margarita for an easy summer spread everyone can dig into.
