Once all the ingredients are prepped, it’s time to assemble the ceviche. Simply mix everything together in a large porcelain or glass bowl, except for the avocado. Once mixed, gently fold in the diced avocados, making sure to coat them completely with the juices. Finish with a splash of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
