Prepare the Ceviche:
In a large bowl, mix the chopped chillies, red onion, citrus juices, chopped coriander, and 1 tsp salt.

Add the cubed salmon and cut prawns to the dressing, ensuring they are well coated.
Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Make the Festive Guacamole:
In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado flesh with the back of a fork.
Mix in the lime juice and 1 tsp salt.
Gently stir in the spring onions, tomatoes, chopped coriander, and ground cumin.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Drizzle with extra lime juice to prevent browning if making in advance.
