Ceviche
Context

Explanation
Ceviche is a popular dish in Latin American coastal regions. The fresh fish is marinated in citrus juice, which 'cooks' it without heat. It's usually mixed with onions, cilantro, and sometimes tomatoes. Ceviche is appreciated for its fresh, tangy flavor.
Applications
Ceviche is often served with corn chips or plantain chips for dipping.
Adding avocado or mango to ceviche can provide a creamy or sweet contrast.
Shrimp, octopus, or a mix of seafood can be used instead of fish in ceviche.
