Helpful hints

  •  As an appetizer, serve in a martini glass with 1/4 cup ceviche and garnish with saltine crackers with unsalted tops along with some cilantro leaves.
  • One lime yields 2 tablespoons lime juice. Ten limes are needed for this recipe.
  • Substitute pineapple tidbits canned in juice if fresh pineapple is unavailable.
