Tofu Poke with Avocado
Tofu Poke is a very healthy variation of the famous Poke dish in Hawaiian cuisine.  This Pū-pū is very famous to all vegetarians and non-vegitarians. This spicy and creamy appetizer can be a good substitute for Spicy Ahi Poke if you don't eat raw fish and not a fan of mayonnaise. Also, with the addition of avocado, it is healthier.
