Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 6 oz ahi tuna sushi-grade and cubed
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • ½ cup corn kernels fresh or grilled
  • ½ cup shredded carrot strips
  • ½ cup crispy tortilla strips

For the Sesame Vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by washing and chopping your romaine lettuce. Cube the ahi tuna into bite-sized pieces, slice the cucumbers, dice the avocado, and prepare the rest of your vegetables.

Step 2: Make the Sesame Vinaigrette

  • In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, ginger (if using), and sesame seeds until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

  • Arrange the romaine lettuce in a large bowl or individual serving bowls. Top with the cubed ahi tuna, avocado, cucumbers, corn, shredded carrots, and tortilla strips.

Step 4: Dress and Serve

  • Drizzle the sesame vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly or leave layered for presentation.

Notes

Tips for the Best Poke Bowl Salad
  • Use High-Quality Tuna: Always choose sushi-grade ahi tuna for the best flavor and safety when consuming raw fish.
  • Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add extras like edamame, radishes, or green onions for even more texture and flavor.
  • Keep It Fresh: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after assembling, especially to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and tortilla strips.
