Begin by preparing the ahi tuna. Using a sharp knife, dice the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small, bite-sized cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size. Place the diced tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut the cucumber into thin half-moons. Add these to the bowl with the tuna.
Next, prepare the avocado by slicing it open and removing the pit. Score the flesh in a grid pattern and scoop it out with a spoon. Add the diced avocado to the bowl.
Chop the green onions finely and add them to the ahi tuna mixture.
In a small separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the sea salt, freshly squeezed lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the ahi tuna mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the dressing. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
On two plates, arrange the mixed salad greens as the base.
Spoon the ahi poke mixture on top of the salad greens, dividing it evenly between the two servings.
Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving for a cooler salad option.
