Summer Poke Salad

POKE. It's not a new thing out there. The last time I went to LA it was on EVERY CORNER.
But...what is new is making this nourishing and diabetes-friendly dish for yourself. I stole this recipe from my chef husband's notebook, but it is a staple these summer evenings. 

Top the poke over a bed of salad greens, add pre-measured rice (if that's your thing), edamame beans, wakame, cucumber, avocado, pickled ginger and season with furikake, ponzu or soy sauce (tamari for GF). Don't forget the spicy mayo (but not too much during these hot summer days and nights).
