Vegan Poke Bowl (with Watermelon)

Have you heard of a poke bowl? This Hawaiian specialty is now cropping up in grocery stores, food trucks and restaurants throughout the world. It’s like a deconstructed sushi bowl, usually made with raw salmon or tuna served on a bed of rice with veggies and toppings.

You can make your own at home and skip the fish by chopping up watermelon. It’s a great opportunity to get creative with the toppings you enjoy best. You can add rice or quinoa to the bottom of the bowl or keep it Reboot-friendly with fruit and veggies.

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
