Peruvian food is some of my favorite in the world! From bright, refreshing ceviche to comforting aji de gallina and lomo saltado, the country’s cuisine includes really everything you could ever crave.
I’m calling this “loaded” because instead of including just avocado, red onion, or bell pepper, I included it all. Peruvian ceviche is known for using simple ingredients that make bold, flavorful dishes. And while I like to do that many times, sometimes it also works to put everything into one bowl, dip a chip into it, and call it dinner. One of my favorites!

This bright, spicy Peruvian dish is so refreshing and flavorful for summer (or really any season) and becomes a whole meal when instead of picking in one mix-in, you pick all of them!
