  2. Carefully arrange all the prepared toppings artfully on top of your greens and vegetables, ensuring an appealing presentation.
Choose and Prepare Your Protein
  1. Select your preferred protein from fresh tuna, salmon, or tofu; then, cube it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Gently place the prepared protein over the other ingredients in your bowl, maintaining its visual appeal and creating a balanced distribution.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. Feel free to customize your poke bowl with additional toppings like mango, pineapple, or seaweed salad. If using raw fish, ensure it is sushi-grade to guarantee freshness and safety. This garden concept encourages using fresh, seasonal ingredients for the best flavor.
