Ingredients
Scale
- 2 each English Cucumbers
- 1 cup Crab (or Imitation Crab)
- 1 each Avocado
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 oz Cream Cheese (Optional)
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds (For garnish, optional)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Scallions
- 1/4 cup Chopped Radishes
Instructions
- Prep the Cucumbers: Start by washing your English cucumbers—keep the skin for an extra crunch! Slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Spread the slices on a clean kitchen towel to absorb any excess moisture.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced crab and any optional cream cheese. Gently fold in the mayonnaise and soy sauce.
- Incorporate the Vegetables: Add the cucumber slices, chopped scallions, and radishes to the creamy crab mixture.
- Add the Avocado: Right before serving, fold in the cubed avocado gently.
- Garnish: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Chill & Serve: Let the salad chill in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicy twist, add diced jalapeños or a dollop of spicy mayo. You can also substitute mango for avocado for a tropical flavor.
