Ingredients

½ container firm or extra firm tofu, pressed and diced
½ cup celery, diced
½ cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup tomatoes, diced
¼ red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
½ tsp sea salt (or salt-free seasoning)

Directions

Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu block between two plates or cutting boards, and place a heavy object on top (like a can of beans) to press it for about 15-20 minutes.
After pressing, dice the tofu into small cubes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Add the diced celery, green bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro to the bowl with the tofu.
Squeeze the juice of two limes over the mixture. The acidity of the lime juice will help "cook" the tofu and infuse flavors into the ceviche.
Sprinkle the sea salt (or salt-free seasoning) over the ingredients. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the tofu and vegetables are evenly coated with lime juice and seasoning.
Allow the tofu ceviche to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together and enhance the taste.
Once chilled, remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and give it a final stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the tofu ceviche chilled as a refreshing appetizer or light meal. You can enjoy it on its own or serve it with tortilla chips or lettuce cups for added texture and presentation.
