Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 medium English Cucumbers Substitution: Persian cucumbers can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Scallions Optional: Adds a spicy kick.
  • 4 medium Chopped Radishes Optional: Provides an extra burst of color.
  • 1 medium Avocado Cube just before serving to maintain freshness.
Protein
  • 8 oz Crab (or Imitation Crab) Substitution: Imitation crab is budget-friendly.
Dressings and Seasonings
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise Adjust according to taste.
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese Optional based on dietary preferences.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Brings a classic savoriness.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Optional, recommended for presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds to create a tender but crunchy base for the salad. Allow 5-10 minutes for uniform slices.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and cream cheese (if using). Blend until smooth.
  3. Fold in the crab or imitation crab meat.
  4. Gently toss the chopped scallions, radishes, and avocados into the cucumber and crab mixture.
  5. Drizzle in the soy sauce and mix gently.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top just before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the cucumbers in a bit of salt for 10-15 minutes before mixing. Keep ingredients chilled until use for an even fresher taste.
