This is more of a process than an exact recipe. Feel free to play. Get fancy with your spices.

In the heat of summer, I love this citrusy, light, and refreshing ceviche-like chopped salad. It is satisfying and yet not heavy. You can serve this as is with a side of chips, or on top of fresh greens, or in tacos. If you do not have access to crawfish, you could also use shrimp to the same effect.

I show my love through cooking for others. So if I wanna get a group of us together, it’s often, “Come over. Let’s eat tacos.” Everybody loves tacos. Without any extra work on your part, people can make them vegetarian by leaving off the meat. Or your guests can just not use the tortilla and eat fewer carbs. Serve them with corn tortillas, and poof, they are gluten-free. Whatever their diet, they can find a way to eat them.
