Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the hearts of palm. Drain and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces resembling chunks of tuna.
2. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, then roughly mash them in a large mixing bowl. You want them slightly chunky but not completely smooth.
3. Add the chopped hearts of palm to the bowl with the chickpeas.
4. To the bowl, add the finely diced red onion, diced Roma tomato, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, and crumbled nori sheet.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. If using jalapeño, stir it into the dressing now.
6. Pour the dressing over the mixture in the large bowl and gently combine everything until well coated with the citrus marinade.
7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
9. Serve the Vegan Tuna Ceviche chilled, garnished with diced avocado. Enjoy it with tortilla chips, tostadas, or on its own as a light and refreshing dish.
