Watermelon Poke Bowl

This raw fish salad is a favourite recipe inspired from Hawaiian cuisine. It is also rich in the omega-3 fats that are good for your brain and heart. The word “poke” comes from the Hawaiian word for “to slice or cut”.

Watermelon Poke Bowls can be served as individual portions over rice (seasoned with a touch of rice wine vinegar) as a main dish, in small serving bowls as an appetizer or side dish, or on a large platter for a buffet. Garnish with dried seaweed for extra Hawaiian flare.
