Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh ahi tuna
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup seaweed salad
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
Instructions
Begin by preparing your workspace and ensuring all your ingredients are laid out and ready.
Slice the ahi tuna into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Ensure your knife is very sharp to maintain the integrity of the meat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, chili flakes, green onions, and yellow onion. Stir to combine.
Add the cubed ahi tuna to the bowl and gently mix to coat the tuna with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the tuna is marinating, prepare the salad base by spreading the mixed greens evenly on a large serving platter or individual bowls.
After the tuna has marinated, gently fold in the seaweed salad and avocado cubes into the tuna mixture.
Spoon the poke mixture over the prepared mixed greens.
Sprinkle the salad with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and vibrant textures.
