Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients 

  • ½ lbs. sushi-grade ahi
  • teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoon chili paste, (sambal oelek or sriracha,depending on your preferred level of spiciness)
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ piece cooked bacon, (diced)
  • ½ Persian cucumber, (diced)
  • ½ tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 green onions, (sliced, green parts only)
  • ¼ cup macadamia nuts, (toasted)
  • 1-2 tablespoon seaweed salad, (optional)
  • 2 avocados, (pitted and halved)

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon until it’s slightly crisp.
  • Dice the ahi tuna, bacon, and cucumber into small squares. Slice the green onion.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, chili paste and rice vinegar. Once combined, stir in the ahi tuna, bacon, cucumber, sesame seeds, green onions, macadamia nuts, and seaweed salad (if using).
  • Halve the avocados and remove the pits.
  • Scoop about 2 ounces of poke salad into each avocado half. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of ahi poke salad.
Since the ahi tuna is served raw, be sure to go to a trusted fish vendor/seafood counter. You want to find someone that carries sushi-grade ahi for this recipe. Whole Foods or any natural food grocer with a fresh fish selection should work just fine.
If you’d rather serve your poke salad in one large bowl, place the serving bowl over ice and enjoy with your favorite chips, crackers, or even seaweed snacks.
Because this dish includes raw fish, I recommend only making as much as you plan to eat in one sitting.
If you do find yourself with leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
