Hearts of Palm “Ceviche” Lettuce Cups

Hearts of palm and other vegetables are chopped together to form a kind of ceviche, served in lettuce cups as an easy appetizer.

  • Chef Shea Zappia

Please vegan and vegetarian diners—and everyone else—with this plant based dish that replicates a seafood ceviche using jarred hearts of palm and colorful fresh peppers. Bibb lettuce leaves provide the perfect vehicle of delivery. Serve at a catered party or pair them on a plate for a light appetizer.
