Description
A quick and refreshing California roll-inspired cucumber salad with creamy avocado, imitation crab, and a savory sesame soy dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 imitation crab sticks, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 avocado, cubed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Slice the cucumber into thin 1/8-inch rounds using a mandolin or sharp knife.
2. Place the sliced cucumber into a large container or bowl.
3. Add chopped imitation crab, cubed avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.
4. Cover the container with a lid or mix in a bowl until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
5. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, optionally garnished with extra sesame seeds.
Notes
English cucumbers work best due to fewer seeds and a milder taste.
Soften the cream cheese beforehand for easier mixing.
You can add sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Best enjoyed fresh, as the cucumber can release water over time.
