Y is for Yellowfin Tuna

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.

My blogging friends and I get together every other Wednesday to share recipes that start or feature ingredients as we work our way through the alphabet.  Let's take a look at the other Y recipes being shared today........

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.
