DIY Poke Bowl

Summer’s Simplest Supper

This authentically Hawaiian dish has made its way from the tropical islands of Hawaii to the mainland—and we are ALL about it! Poke is the quintessential summer supper. You don’t have to fire up the grill or heat up the stove, just slice up your favorite fresh fish, add some toppings of your choice, and enjoy a taste of the tropics. Poke, pronounced Poh-kay, translates to section or slice, and refers to fresh fish that can be served as an appetizer or main course. The opportunities are endless and nutritious, too, but we’ve got a couple tips on making it the best. Check out our recipe below. It’s a glorious concoction of sushi-grade ahi tuna, sweet onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, macadamia nuts, and scallions. Enjoy!
