Method
- Dice the cucumbers into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Flake the imitation crab meat into small pieces.
- Dice the avocado into similar-sized pieces as the cucumbers. Toss with a little lime juice to prevent browning if desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sriracha. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the diced cucumbers, flaked crab meat, and diced avocado.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to overmix.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and nori seaweed strips (if using) over the salad.
- Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
For best results, use the freshest ingredients possible. Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their flavor. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice. Chilling the salad before serving allows the flavors to meld together and makes it even more refreshing. If you don't have nori seaweed, the salad will still be delicious without it. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Dressing the salad right before serving is recommended to avoid soggy cucumbers.
