Main Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Dressing
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumber, shredded imitation crab meat, diced avocado, and sliced green onions to create the fresh salad base.
- Mix the Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
- Toss Salad and Dress: Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss all ingredients to ensure even coating without mashing the avocado.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the salad with sesame seeds evenly to add a subtle nutty flavor and visual appeal.
- Chill: Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
