This was a refreshing departure from traditional Ahi Poke or tuna tartare. My version had a touch of Mediterranean flavors. I used all the ingredients called for except subbed a touch of sesame oil instead of sesame seed. I increased the amount of olives, capers, lime juice, cilantro and soy. Added a scallion and the avocado as others reported doing. I also added the zest from my lime.
Can’t wait to make it agh this

Made this tonight. Added 1 green onion and a splash of toasted sesame seed oil.  Did just over a pound with the tuna.  Still worked out very nice!  Awesome recipe and will make again for sure!

I added avocado and diced it into the same size cubes as the Tuna and it was great. I will definitely make this recipe again!

Talk about quick and easy! Substituted cold shrimp for the Ahi and it tasted great! Add less soy sauce at first because it can be overpowering. Served it as an appetizer and everyone loved it!
