Description

This vibrant salad is a refreshing and flavorful addition to any meal. Inspired by the Hawaiian poke tradition, it features cubes of marinated raw tuna, offering a taste of the ocean's clean, fresh essence. The tuna, selected for its quality and buttery texture, melts in your mouth, providing a luxurious counterpoint to the other ingredients.

Thinly sliced cucumbers, marinated in a tangy and slightly sweet brine, provide a satisfying crunch and a burst of coolness. Their crispness offers a delightful contrast to the soft tuna and creamy avocado. The marinade, infused with subtle aromatics, penetrates the cucumbers, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.

Fresh avocado, with its smooth and velvety texture, lends a richness to the salad. Its mild, nutty flavor complements the other elements, while its creamy consistency binds the ingredients together. The avocado not only contributes to the overall taste but also adds a visual appeal with its vibrant green hue.

A zesty, spicy mayonnaise dressing ties all the components together. The creamy dressing, spiked with a hint of heat, adds a layer of complexity to the salad. Its tangy notes awaken the palate, while its smooth texture coats each ingredient, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

Enjoy this salad as a light and refreshing side dish, or transform it into a more substantial meal by serving it over a bed of cauliflower rice. For a different twist, try wrapping it in a tortilla or serving it in taco shells for a fun and flavorful experience. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this salad is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

    1.
    Chop the sushi-grade tuna into small, approximately 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, gently fold the tuna pieces with soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or longer to allow the flavors to meld.
    2.
    Prepare the cucumbers by slicing them into julienne strips – medium-long and thin. In a separate bowl, combine the cucumber strips with rice vinegar and red pepper flakes. Cover and refrigerate alongside the tuna to marinate.
    3.
    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and minced garlic until well combined and smooth. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
    4.
    Gently combine the marinated tuna and cucumbers in a bowl. Chop the avocado into bite-sized pieces and carefully fold it into the tuna salad along with the spicy mayo dressing, being careful not to mash the avocado. Serve immediately and garnish with dried nori seaweed or any other preferred keto-friendly toppings.
