One of the great things about travel is trying new foods. During a trip to Hawaii several years ago, I fell in love, "at first bite" with ahi poke salad. It is a popular menu item at West Coast restaurants, and very easy to make at home with this recipe from Epicurious.
Ahi Poke Salad with Avocado
Other delicious versions include the addition of mangoes, yummy.
The availability of quality ingredients is another bonus with the abundance of fresh sashimi* grade tuna and avocados. California might have problems galore, but you can't beat our avocados.
What wonderful dishes have you found on your travels across the ocean, or around the corner? What fresh and local ingredients inspire you?
Thank you so much and Happy Wednesday!
