Description
A quick and refreshing California roll-inspired cucumber salad with creamy, savory flavors and a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 4 imitation crab sticks (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 avocado (cubed)
- 1 large cucumber (thinly sliced)
Instructions
1. Slice the cucumber into 1/8-inch thick slices using a mandolin or sharp knife.
2. Place the sliced cucumber into a large container or bowl.
3. Add chopped crab, cubed avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.
4. Cover and shake or mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and coated.
5. Serve immediately for best flavor, optionally garnished with extra sesame seeds.
Notes
Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and better texture.
Soften cream cheese beforehand for easier mixing.
Best enjoyed fresh as avocado may brown over time.
Adjust soy sauce to taste for desired saltiness.
