Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl with Ginger Salad Dressing

Hawaiian style Tuna Poke Bowl with ginger salad dressing to enhance and vary the overall flavor. Try this recipe to bring a different taste and combine your favorite salad into a single one-bowl-meal.

On a typical workday, there will be less time to prepare and cook up grand dishes for lunch or even dinner. I find myself turning to this one-bowl-meal sort of dishes. A poke bowl is easy to make as it virtually requires minimal cooking. All your time on the recipe will be for prepping the ingredients and cook up some rice, this can be saved if you have an automatic rice cooker.

To save time, have your protein, or Tuna in this case, chopped up, marinated, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Buying a pre-washed salad bag/pack is also more convenient. All you have to do really is prepare the salad dressing in bulk.

This Tuna Poke bowl can be served immediately after crafting or pack as a to-go box. Remember to throw in an ice-pack to keep the salad and tuna cool all-the-way. Tuna flavor and texture will be much better when chilled.
