Red Snapper & Mango Ceviche

By amnichols

On our date to Sugarbeet restaurant in Longmont, Colorado, I had the most marvelous ceviche. It was made with scallops, avocados, lime juice, red onions, red peppers, jalapeños (I think), and pineapple juice. It was served with a large sprig of basil for a garnish and thinly sliced, homemade potato strips (not chips). Some of the scallop slices were white and some were pink. I don’t know if that meant that some were cooked and some were raw, or if the pink ones were marinaded in something different. Either way it was marvelous!

Just by looking at it, I know that ceviche must be a low calorie dish that’s high in lean protein. And this recipe from Relishmag.com that uses red snapper instead of scallops proves it. Each serving is 4 Weight Watchers POINTS
