Ceviche is a popular seafood dish from Latin America that is typically made with raw fish, shrimp, or scallops marinated in lime or lemon juice. However, this cauliflower ceviche recipe is a vegetarian version that is just as delicious and healthy as the original. The cauliflower florets are chopped finely to mimic the texture of seafood, and they absorb the tangy and spicy flavors of the lime juice and chile peppers just like fish or shrimp would. This recipe is also more accessible and budget-friendly as you don't need to buy expensive seafood. You can serve this cauliflower ceviche as an appetizer or snack for a party, or as a light and refreshing lunch or dinner.

1.In a large mixing bowl, mix together the chopped cauliflower, cucumber, onion, tomato, cilantro, and serrano chile peppers.
2.Add the lime juice, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Mix well.
3.Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled.
4.Serve as is or with tortilla chips.
