Vegetables

  • Thinly sliced cucumber – ½ cup
  • Shredded carrots – ½ cup
  • Edamame (shelled) – ½ cup

Rice or Grain Base (Optional)

  • Cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa – ½ cup

  • Sriracha (optional for spice) – ½ teaspoon

Garnishes

  • Toasted sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon
  • Sliced green onions – 1 tablespoon
  • Nori strips (optional) – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Base: Rinse and thoroughly dry the baby spinach or mixed greens. Layer them as the base of your salad bowl.
  2. Cook or Prepare Your Protein: If using raw fish, cube it into bite-sized pieces. For shrimp or tofu, ensure it is cooked and lightly season with salt.
  3. Chop and Arrange Veggies: Thinly slice cucumber, shred carrots, and measure out shelled edamame. Arrange them on top of the greens.
  4. Make the Dressing: Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey or maple syrup. Add sriracha if you prefer a spicy kick.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Layer the protein over the veggies and greens. Drizzle generously with the poke sauce. Add avocado slices and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and nori strips if desired.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Toss gently or serve as is, savoring the fresh combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use fresh fish and crisp vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Balance salty, sweet, and spicy elements in the dressing.
  • Gently toss the salad to maintain texture integrity.
  • Chill the salad for 10 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Experiment with toppings like pickled ginger, radish slices, or wasabi peas for added dimension.
