Easy California Roll Cucumber Salad made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 1 cup imitation crab meat shredded

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the cucumbers. Slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. If you prefer, you can remove the seeds to reduce moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, shredded imitation crab meat, and chopped green onions.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch.
  6. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
