Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by thinly slicing one English cucumber using a mandolin or a sharp knife, aiming for uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Add in the chopped imitation crab meat and the sliced green onions to the bowl with cucumbers. Pour in a splash of soy sauce and a generous dollop of spicy mayo, along with a pinch of kosher salt and a dash of pepper.
Secure the lid on the bowl and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
After mixing, carefully taste your salad and adjust seasoning as desired.
Slice a ripe avocado and gently lay the slices on top of your salad. Drizzle with additional spicy mayo and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Serve your vibrant California Roll Cucumber Salad immediately or refrigerate for a few minutes.
