Description

A quick and refreshing California roll-inspired cucumber salad with creamy textures, savory soy flavor, and a hint of sesame crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 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 thin 1/8-inch slices using a mandolin or sharp knife for even texture.

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 and shake or mix thoroughly until everything is 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 to ensure smooth mixing.

Best enjoyed fresh to maintain avocado texture and color.

You can substitute real crab for imitation crab for a more authentic flavor.
