Watermelon Poke Kale Salad

Poke!!! A dish I am completely obsessed with my friends. I love it with real ahi-tuna and almost always order it if I see it on a menu. But of course, trying to eat more plant-based and vegan, I decided to turn one of my all-time favorite meals into a delicious vegan one.

Sooo watermelon…Yes, I used watermelon for this dish and trust me, ITS SO GOOD! Don’t knock it until you try it. I served the watermelon poke on a bed of a kale salad seasoned and dressed with Asian flavors, then topped with edamame, and drizzled with a vegan mayo-siracha sauce. YUM! Are you drooling yet? If you don’t want to use watermelon, try roasting tofu or chickpeas in its place.
