Ingredients
Salad
2 English cucumbers, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
1 cup crab or imitation crab, diced
1 avocado, cubed (add just before serving)
Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Optional Add-Ons
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup sliced radishes
Instructions
Slice cucumbers and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let drain in a colander for 15–20 minutes, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine drained cucumbers, diced crab, and cubed avocado.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, cream cheese, soy sauce, and sesame seeds until smooth and creamy.
Pour dressing over cucumber mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
Garnish with extra sesame seeds or scallions and serve immediately.
