Eating food this pretty is impossible to pass up.

Hawaiian tuna poke bowls have become a popular food trend, and for good reason. Hawaiian poke bowls are quick, healthy and perfect for satisfying a sushi craving on a lower budget.

The main component of poke bowls is tuna poke. Poke (pronounced “POH-keh”) literally means “to cut or slice” in Hawaiian, and the word refers to bite sized pieces of raw fish – most commonly tuna – which is marinated in a soy sauce mixture.

Traditionally poke bowls consist of poke served over sushi rice, then topped with various vegetables, sesame seeds and umami-spiked sauces.

In this tuna poke salad bowl we are nixing the rice and opting for healthier greens, while 86-ing the spicy, creamy sauce and substituting a mango based dressing.

While Hawaiian tuna poke is healthy, whether or not your poke bowl is healthy completely depends on what else you are adding to your bowl.

A tuna poke bowl loaded with sushi rice, avocado and spicy sauce is going to have a lot more calories and be considerably less healthy than this Avocado Mango Tuna Poke Salad Bowl recipe.

However, no matter how you load-up, layer, or garnish your poke bowls, they are nutrient dense and do contain a high amount of protein and healthy fats, such as Omega 3.

The main key to keeping your poke bowl super healthy is to make sure you are customizing yours to include more greens, fruits, and vegetables and less processed ingredients.

Notes, Tips & Tricks for the best Avocado Mango Tuna Poke Salad Bowl recipe:

1. While the recipe below calls for sushi-grade tuna, you can absolutely substitute the tuna for any seafood you would like, just make sure you are using sashimi quality fish, or cooked seafood. Sushi-grade salmon, octopus, scallops or cooked crab are delicious options for this poke salad bowl!

2. The tuna poke will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to one day, however, it is best if eaten on the same day it is prepared.

3. The add-ins for the avocado mango tuna poke salad bowl are pretty limitless. I have included a ton of options in the recipe below, but feel free to use your imagination and top your bowl with whatever your heart desires!

4. The amount of water needed for the mango dressing depends on your preferred consistency for dressing. I recommend starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more water, an additional tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. For reference, I used 1 1/2 tablespoons of water in my dressing. The same note applies to the honey and sriracha in the dressing. Always make a recipe your own by adjusting the measurements of ingredients to your taste.
