Easy California Roll Cucumber Salad: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 2 large cucumbers
– 1 cup imitation crab meat or cooked crab meat
– 1 ripe avocado
– ¼ cup mayonnaise (preferably Japanese Kewpie)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon soy sauce
– ½ teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for a kick)
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Crafting your Easy California Roll Cucumber Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps for an exceptional outcome:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. This helps prevent excess moisture in the salad.
2. Julienne the Cucumbers: Cut the cucumbers into thin, julienne strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Shred the Crab: If using imitation crab, shred it into smaller pieces. For cooked crab meat, simply break it into bite-sized chunks.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using). Whisk until smooth.
5. Add the Crab: Fold the crab meat into the mayonnaise mixture until well-coated.
6. Incorporate the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Gently fold it into the crab mixture, being careful not to mash it too much.
7. Combine Everything: Pour the crab and avocado mixture over the julienned cucumbers. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without breaking down the cucumbers.
8. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, and add sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Mix once more to incorporate.
9. Chill (Optional): For an even more refreshing taste, consider covering the salad and chilling it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Toss one last time before serving to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

With these steps, you’ll create a stunning Easy California Roll Cucumber Salad that’s both tasty and visually appealing.
