Crisp cucumbers, creamy avocado, and savory crab combine in a vibrant, no-cook salad with a sushi-style dressing.
# What's Needed:
→ 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 tbsp soy sauce
07 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
→ Optional Add-Ons
08 - 1/4 cup chopped scallions
09 - 1/4 cup chopped radishes
# How To Make It:
01 - Slice cucumbers into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let drain in a colander for 15-20 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 proportions for desired creaminess and flavor intensity.
04 - Pour dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to evenly coat all components.
05 - Serve immediately garnished with remaining sesame seeds. Chill briefly before serving for a colder preparation if desired.
