Description
A fresh, zesty salad blending creamy avocado and imitation crab with crisp cucumbers, soy sauce, sesames seeds, and a hint of mayonnaise. Ready in 10 minutes for a quick, restaurant-quality lunch.
Ingredients
Soy sauce 1 1/2 tbsp
Cream cheese 2 tbsp
Mayonnaise 2 tbsp
Sesame seeds 2 tsp
Imitation crab 4 sticks
Avocado 1/2
Cucumber 1 large (English type preferred)
Instructions
Slice the Cucumber:
Set mandolin thickness to 1/8-inch.
Hold cucumber firmly on cutting surface.
Gliding motion produces even slices for consistent texture.
Place slices in a single layer on paper towels.

Pour in soy sauce using measuring spoon.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of sesame seeds in the bottom first.
Mix the Salad:
Secure lid on deli container tightly.
Shake or stir until ingredients are evenly combined.
Sprinkle remaining 1 tsp of sesame seeds on top.
Notes
Use English cucumbers for minimal moisture.
Chop ingredients as instructed to avoid sogginess.
Toast sesame seeds for enhanced nuttiness.
Adds 1/8-cup rice vinegar for brightness if desired.
