Scallop Ceviche Recipe
This is a delicious ceviche! I was a little put off when I saw ketchup in the ingredients but it works. I have dozens of hot dish recipes for avocado but living in South Florida I was always on the hunt for that elusive perfect cold light meal with avocado. Well, here it is! I will keep this in my recipe box to make time and time again.
