For the best flavor and texture, use sushi-grade ahi tuna that is very fresh. Toasting the macadamia nuts before grinding will enhance their nutty flavor. Feel free to customize the spice level to your preference. Start with a smaller amount of red pepper flakes and sriracha, and add more as needed. If you don't have macadamia nuts, you can substitute with other nuts like cashews or almonds. This poke salad is best served chilled. Prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve.
