Yellowfin Tuna is more commonly called Ahi Tuna. That delicious fish served raw or quickly seared, and the star of sushi and poke bowls in Asian cuisine. I used it to make this quick, delicious salad perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

This event kind of snuck up on me. I had planned on making Poke Bowls, but then our guests arrived from Denmark. So I made lasagna to have ready for when they arrived from the airport. Then I was busy preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, so we had pizza. Then we had Thanksgiving, and the next three days were spent eating repurposed leftovers.
Finally, on Monday, I was going to make our Poke Bowls....Yellowfin for Netthe and me, and Teriyaki chicken for the guys and kids. We got up in the morning, and they headed to a mall while Frank went to a doctor's appointment.
When Frank got home, we headed to the Mall and met them at Rainforest Cafe for lunch. A huge lunch, I might add. Then we went to the Sealife Aquarium. Frank and I headed home, and they stayed at the Mall to do some more shopping. Around 6 pm, they contacted us and said they were still full from lunch, so they were going to shop some more and grab a light snack on the way home.
Frank and I weren't very hungry either, so he had the last of the Turkey Stroganoff, and I made this salad with some of the ingredients I had picked up for the Poke Bowls.
Last year I celebrated the Letter Y with Tzatziki.
