Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh watermelon
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons scallions
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons red onion
• 1 cup diced avocado
• 1 cup seaweed salad
• 1 tablespoon pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fresh watermelon into cubes roughly 1/2-inch in size. You will need about 3 cups of watermelon cubes for this recipe.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well to create the poke marinade.

Step 3

Add the watermelon cubes to the bowl and toss gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the watermelon to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Thinly slice the scallions and red onion, and add them to the mixing bowl along with the marinated watermelon.

Step 5

Add the toasted sesame seeds, diced avocado, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger to the bowl. Gently toss the ingredients to combine.

Step 6

For additional heat, drizzle the mixture with sriracha and add fresh lime juice. Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your taste preference.

Step 7

Serve the vegan poke chilled in individual bowls. It pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or as a topping for salads or poké bowls.
