Mushrooms for the party

This is an easy ceviche recipe made with mushrooms that would be ideal for a party. Mushroom ceviche is vegetarian and if you or your friends can’t eat fish or seafood this will be one option. Wait until you try this ceviche style recipe with fresh mushrooms. Every bite is a texture of meaty and umami flavor of the mushrooms combined with crunchy onions and tortilla chips.

Mushrooms are the one vegetable that provides vitamin D, known as the sunshine vitamin, they are low in calories and are very low in sodium. They also contain other nutritional benefits of mushrooms such as antioxidants, selenium, and ergothioneine which may help strengthen body’s immunity and protect the body’s cells.

Mushrooms contain vitamin D.

The white button mushrooms work really well in this recipe. Rinse them well under cold water to remove the dirt. Then dry them with a paper towel. Chop mushrooms to small bite-sized and place them in a bowl.

Squeeze several limes and if you don’t have some, use lemon juice, too.

Add chopped red onion to add that pretty purple color and the ceviche flavor.

Don’t forget to add a lot of cilantro.

The final touch is to add about two tablespoons of champagne vinegar. If you don’t have it, use red wine vinegar.

Serve with tortilla chips.

This is another way to eat healthy foods.
