Celebrating National Avocado Day with Chef Joya

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Try this ceviche with a twist by Chef Joya.

Chef Joya, a personal chef that specializes in vegan cuisine, joined us in the kitchen this morning to make avocado and heart of palm ceviche.

Ceviche is normally cooked with seafood; however, this vegan twist makes a great substitute.

Joya also hosts private home dinners and has five digital cookbooks.

The ingredients used in this dish include:

1 ripe avocado
2 Roma tomatoes
1 jalapeño 1/2 cucumber
6-8 limes and lemons mixed
1 can of hearts of palm chopped and rinsed ( marinated with soy sauce and nori Furikake)
Cilantro to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Mexican oregano
2 cloves garlic chopped

Joya also has a seasoning line at chefjoyanest.com.
