tongan ceviche 

This is a great recipe now that spring and summer have started. It is very light and refreshing with the tropical touch of coconut . Tastes even better with the taro chips . Great for party appetizers and to wow guests , they will not guess how easy it was. Literary it's just mixing and waiting for the lemon juice to do the job. I encourage you to try something different and I hope you enjoy with loved ones ;)
