Scallop ceviche with mint is a refined dish of Latin American cuisine that combines the freshness of sea scallops with the sweet and sour notes of citrus and aromatic mint. The roots of ceviche trace back to Peru, where it is traditionally prepared by marinating fish or seafood in lime juice, creating a unique balance of flavors. Scallops, tender and slightly sweet, gain brightness when paired with lime and lemon, while red onion adds a piquant touch. Mint in this ceviche variant adds freshness and sophistication. This dish is perfect for a hot day, being light and refreshing. Served chilled as an appetizer, it pairs excellently with white wine or sparkling drinks. It is enjoyed slowly, savoring every note of flavor.
