Crisp cucumbers, creamy avocado, and crab tossed in a flavorful sushi-style dressing for a fresh appetizer.
# What You Need:
→ Salad
01 - 2 English cucumbers, sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds
02 - 1 cup crab meat or imitation crab, diced
03 - 1 avocado, cubed
→ Dressing
04 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
05 - 2 oz cream cheese, optional
06 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
→ Optional Add-Ons
08 - 1/4 cup chopped scallions
09 - 1/4 cup chopped radishes
# How-To:
01 - Slice the English cucumbers into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let drain in a colander for 15 to 20 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cucumber slices, diced crab, and cubed avocado. Add scallions and radishes if desired.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cream cheese if using, soy sauce, and half the sesame seeds. Adjust quantities to achieve desired creaminess and flavor balance.
04 - Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to evenly coat all components.
05 - Serve immediately garnished with remaining sesame seeds. For a colder salad, chill briefly before serving.
