Ingredients (1 serving):

• 4-5 large sea scallops, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 Meyer lemon, juiced
• ½ lime, juiced
• ½ jalapeño, minced
• ¼ avocado, diced
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Ensure your scallops are very fresh and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops into thin, uniform rounds about ¼-inch thick.
2. In a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic), combine the scallop slices with the freshly squeezed Meyer lemon and lime juice, making sure all the scallop pieces are completely submerged in the citrus juice.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for exactly 30 minutes. The scallops will turn opaque as the acid denatures the proteins, “cooking” them without heat.
4. After 30 minutes, remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and gently fold in the minced jalapeño and diced avocado, being careful not to break up the delicate scallop slices.
5. Season with a pinch of salt to taste, and serve immediately in chilled bowls or glasses for the most refreshing experience.

Detox Explanation: This no-cook meal is rich in enzymes from the raw scallops and citrus that support digestion and nutrient absorption. The high vitamin C content from the citrus enhances collagen production and immune function, while the healthy fats from avocado improve the bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins and provide sustained energy.
