Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 large English cucumber
  • 4 imitation crab sticks, chopped
  • 1/2 avocado, cubed

Dressing & Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Slice the Cucumber: Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, carefully slice the cucumber into 1/8-inch thick slices. This ensures a consistent texture and size, perfect for mixing evenly with the other ingredients.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the sliced cucumber into a large deli container or glass jar. Add in the diced crab, diced avocado, kewpie mayonnaise, whipped cream cheese, soy sauce, and toasted sesame seeds. Ensure all ingredients are properly measured and prepared to suit your taste preferences.
  3. Mix the Salad: Cover the container or jar with a secure lid. Shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed. The shaking motion coats the cucumber and other ingredients harmoniously with the creamy mixtures and soy sauce.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Eat the mixed salad immediately for the freshest taste. You can serve it directly from the jar for convenience or transfer it to a bowl for a more formal presentation. Optionally, sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top as a garnish. Enjoy your refreshing and flavorful salad!

Notes

  • Use a mandolin for evenly thin cucumber slices for best texture.
  • Imitation crab can be substituted with real crab meat for a more authentic flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or wasabi to the dressing.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the cucumber and creaminess of the avocado.
  • Can be served as a side dish or a light appetizer.
