Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sushi-grade Ahi tuna
- 1 teaspoon Hawaiian Alaea sea salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 each green onions, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 large avocado, diced

- 0.25 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
Begin by cutting the sushi-grade Ahi tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the Hawaiian Alaea sea salt to the tuna, tossing gently to combine and allow the salt to begin flavoring the fish.
In a small bowl, mix the toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna and gently mix until the tuna is evenly coated.
Fold in the finely chopped green onions, thinly sliced red onion, diced avocado, and cucumber, being careful not to mash the ingredients.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped macadamia nuts over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Serve the Soy-Free Classic Ahi Poke chilled, either on its own or over a bed of mixed greens or steamed brown rice.
