Hawaiian Sea Salt, to taste
For the Cabbage salad:
2 cups of Cabbage, chopped into 1-inch chunks
½ cup of Cilantro, coarsely chopped
½ cup of Carrot, shredded
¼ of an English cucumber, sliced and quartered
1 large avocado, pitted and sliced, but note to include the juice of a half of a lime on the avocado (so that it doesn’t turn brown)
2 teaspoons of Toasted Sesame Seeds
½ cup of Wonton Strips (such as Garlic Ginger flavored)
Directions
To Prepare the Catalina Dressing with an Asian-fusion Flair:
With the exception of the two oils, add all of the remaining ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together until they are combined. Slowly drizzle in the two oils, and whisk them together to combine. Put the dressing into a jar with a lid or a salad dressing container.
Refrigerate and shake well before serving.
To Prepare the Tuna Poke:
Mix all of the ingredients together, and put them into a bowl in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 hours in advance, but not longer to preserve the Ahi Tuna. This should be eaten within a few hours of making.
To Prepare the Cabbage Salad:
Mix the cabbage, the cilantro and the carrots in a salad bowl. Spread the cucumber around the edges and then lay the sliced avocado in a decorative array across the top of the salad.
Add the tuna poke to the middle of the salad, and then sprinkle with the wonton strips and toasted sesame seeds. Top it with the Catalina – Asian Fusion Flair dressing.
We hope you enjoy this amazing dressing and salad combination!
