Ok, definitely not a ceviche but definitely IS a yummy tuna salad. I didn't have any tomatoes, so I tossed in some seeded, diced cucumbers just to help keep the tuna and veggies balanced. Very good. I'll be making this one again soon!

    I wouldn't know a plate of authentic Ceviche if I tripped over it, but this dish was certainly a tasty one. I left out the cilantro because I dislike it, and the dish was good, but a bit faint in flavor. Next time I will substitute oregano and it will surely be better. The only issue I had was that even with only 1 lime squeezed over a double batch it was drippy. We used it in wraps and on crackers and it dripped fishy lime juice down our arms. I don't know what would improve that or if we ought to have been eating it with spoons instead of on wraps. I used a mix of red and yellow tomatoes and it made a really beautiful dish. Note — be careful of the onion. Not all red onions are mild and sweet. I had to cut back a bit to keep the flavors in balance.

    Made this today for ZWT4. We enjoyed it as a light dinner which was just right. I did not have a fresh tomato or a jalapena so I substitute a canned of diced tomatoes with chiles that was drained!! It worked for us.

    This makes a wonderful light lunch. I'm not crazy about the lettuce, but the nice thing about this recipe is that you can add and remove ingredients as you please. I experimented with it a lot.
