  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 16 ounces mini cucumbers, sliced
  • 8 ounces imitation crab, shredded
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 large avocado, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Dressing and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup spicy mayo
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the sliced mini cucumbers, shredded imitation crab, chopped avocado, sliced green onions, and shelled edamame until well distributed.
  2. Add Dressing: Pour the spicy mayo over the combined ingredients and gently stir until everything is evenly coated with the dressing, ensuring a creamy and flavorful blend.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the salad with both sesame seeds and black sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal. Serve the salad alongside soy sauce to taste, allowing each person to add their preferred amount of seasoning.

Notes

  • Use mini cucumbers for a crisp texture and pleasant bite; regular cucumbers can be substituted but may be less crunchy.
  • If spicy mayo is unavailable, mix mayonnaise with sriracha or another hot sauce as a substitute.
  • Shelled edamame can be found in frozen vegetable sections; thaw before use.
  • Add lemon or lime juice to avocado pieces to prevent browning if not serving immediately.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity based on dietary sodium preferences.
