Notes

  • Notes If your schedule is tight, you can prepare this dish up to 36 hours in advance! The longer the watermelon marinates, the more robust and awesome the flavor with be! Swap the wonton wrappers for rice paper wraps if you wish. This is a great gluten-free option!  Use any hot sauce you wish in the aioli OR just add some of your favorite spices. Feel free to add any other ingredients you wish! Customize it!! SO DELICIOUS! Store the poke in the fridge for 4 - 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
