Ceviche

In this Mexican classic, fish is "cooked" with the acid of lime juice, rather than the heat from an oven or stove. The flavors are bright and fresh and perfect for a warm weather meal. Buy the fish directly from a fishmonger, because it has to be impeccably fresh.
Serves: 6 as an appetizer, or 4 as a main course
Work Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 6 hours (marinating time) and 15 minutes

* 1 pound fresh fish fillets (mackerel, snapper, grouper, striped bass, tuna, salmon, scallops) cut in 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes
* 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
* 2 tomatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
* 1/2 cup minced onion (preferably white)
* 2 serrano or jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
* 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
* 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
* 3 cups shredded lettuce

1. In a nonreactive bowl, combine fish and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. (It can be marinated for up to 2 days.) Drain and discard juice.

2. Add tomatoes, onion, peppers, cilantro, and oil. Toss gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
