Tuna ‘Sushi’ Salad Bowl
Tuna ‘Sushi’ Salad Bowl
This tuna "sushi" bowl is a delicious take on a deconstructed sushi roll. Enjoy the taste sensation of this 'sushi' at home recipe – The salad has all of the flavors of sushi, but in an easy rice bowl form.We love this salad because you don’t have to mess with rolling sushi, you throw everything in a bowl and you are good to go. The salad has rice, nori, cucumber, cabbage, avocado, edamame, capsicum, and sesame seeds. The salad is finished off with a light dressing that is made of wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. You get all of the sushi flavours, but in salad form. Win, Win!

Notes
SUBS
You can use poached chicken or salmon, instead of tuna using our protein conversation chart in resource section.
You could also use dulse flakes instead of nori, if you didn’t have or leave them out altogether (although it’s not really ‘sushi’ salad then 😉 but would still taste amazing.
