In Japan, for example, they have been using these types of dishes for many years, and this, combined with their balanced diet, has granted them enviable health. To ensure you also have the same benefits, here are five healthy raw recipes.   Aguachile de callo de hacha This recipe from northern Mexico is fresh, vibrant with citrus flavor, and very healthy. It is made with scallops, onion, lime, piquin chili, and cucumber. It is great for snacking or serving as an appetizer, and remember that the longer you let it sit in lime juice, the more it will be cooked, so we recommend applying the lime just minutes before serving to benefit from the freshness and nutritional attributes of the raw ingredients.   Peruvian Sole Ceviche This recipe is similar to the previous one in that both are cooked with lime, so we also recommend using the citrus until the end because the point is to eat the fish raw, in its freshest version. It is an extremely easy preparation but complex in flavors as corn, red onion, chili (red pepper), and sweet potato play with sweet, tangy, and salty flavors that you will love.   Steak Tartare Not everything in the world of raw dishes is fish, as this legendary dish is also very delicious in its freshest form. It consists of finely chopped beef with eggs, lime juice, capers, mustard, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. We do recommend finding tenderloin or your preferred lean meat of the best possible quality. In all raw dishes, success lies in the initial quality of your ingredients.   Beef Carpaccio This carpaccio follows the theme of raw meat recipes; it is extremely elegant and easy to make. You will find it in the most luxurious restaurants, but it simply requires good quality ingredients and freshness. You only need very thin slices of beef tenderloin, arugula, parmesan, olive oil, and seasoning to taste.   Tuna Sashimi Lastly, to pay homage to the cuisine that has inspired this note, we present a Japanese-style tuna sashimi. It consists of thin slices of fresh tuna accompanied by sesame seeds, soy sauce, and lime, that easy. It is excellent as an appetizer as it is light and fresh, but you can also serve it over a bowl of steamed white rice for a very healthy main dish.
