Ceviche is a popular appetizer (or light snack) in Central America. It can be portioned into individual servings, or it can be served in a large bowl and presented as an appetizer to share with friends. This recipe from Belize includes fresh mango for a sweet, fruity finish. And, like other Ceviche recipes, it can be portioned into individual servings (as this recipe is written). Or it be placed into one large bowl and served with crisp bread chips (or tortilla chips) to scoop up the Ceviche.
