Directions

1. 1

   In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.

   30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.

   Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!

   To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.
