This vegan and raw appetizer is inspired by Caribbean flavors– fresh coconut, mango, and lime! You can find Thai Young Coconuts at Whole Foods Market. Ask a produce person to cut it open for you. Drink the coconut water and then scoop out the coconut meat with a spoon.

Try serving the ceviche with tortilla chips or tostadas and serve as fresh as possible, within 1-2 days. Recipe contributed by Cynthia Chea Pean, Chef at The Springs Raw and Living Foods restaurant in Los Angeles.
