When the weather gets hot sometimes it's nice to eat your protein cold. Ahi Poke with a salad is a great midweek meal for doing just that. It's also a good mid-day snack to keep you fueled for your day without bogging you down.
I wanted to get this recipe out to you before the weekend because it looks like it is going to be nice!
Pictured below is a fancy take on Ahi Poke that came out of one of my kitchens in the past. I love this one because this takes the traditional Furikake (Seaweed and sesame) element and tweaks it a little bit, turning it into a puree. As it turns out that Nori Puree is pretty damn good on a variety of different things.
This Poke Dressing recipe is a pretty simple and I put most of the writing into the PDF that is linked, so this blog post is going to be really short.
If you've got some ahi on hand give this a try.
It sure beats the grab and go option at the grocery store.
Here's what it looks like on a normal afternoon for my family. I spruced this one up with a little Cilantro, celery heart & minced ginger. The other night I made one with snap peas because I couldn't find a ripe avocado. I like to encourage people to get creative. Think about texture as well as flavor. Texture is so important!
BELOW:
Da Poke Shack in Kona, HI. INSANE Poke selection. That stuff on top of the rice is Furikake. It really adds a lot of flavor to the dish so don't skip the Nori/Sesame flavor profile. If you don't make that Nori Puree, get some Furikake.
Here is a PDF link to the recipe from up above to make it easier to print.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
