How good is a Poke Salad really? Here’s how to make one.
Poke salad is a Hawaiian fish salad served as an appetizer and sometimes as the main dish. The word Poke came from the Hawaiian poke (pronounced pow-kee) which means “to slice or cut”. Traditional forms of the poke salad use aku (an oily tuna) and he'e (octopus).
Increasingly popular ahi poke is generally made with yellowfin tuna. Adaptations may feature raw salmon or various shellfish as a main ingredient served raw with the common "poke" seasonings.
How do you make a poke salad?
Mix together any kind of fish you like (preferably tuna or salmon), minced onion, green onion, ginger, seaweed, macadamia nuts, sesame oil, and red pepper in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour, for the flavors to come together. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter, spoon the fish on top, and garnish with cilantro.
