Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh sashimi-grade ahi tuna
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup seaweed salad
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups mixed greens
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ahi tuna. Cut the fresh sashimi-grade ahi tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Pour the mixture over the cubed tuna and gently toss to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
While the tuna is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the green onions, dice the cucumber and avocado, and slice the red onion and radishes thinly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced green onions, diced avocado, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, sliced radishes, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the marinated tuna to the salad bowl, along with any remaining marinade. Gently toss everything together to ensure even distribution.
Add the seaweed salad and toasted sesame seeds to the mix, gently folding them in.
Season the poke salad with salt and black pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the soy sauce already adds some saltiness.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Ahi Poke Salad immediately; it is best enjoyed fresh and cold.
