Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing your English cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, cut the cucumbers into 1/8-inch rounds for a uniform texture.
  2. Place the sliced cucumbers into a colander and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab, diced avocado, mayonnaise, and cream cheese. Drizzle in the soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Stir these ingredients together gently.
  4. Pat the drained cucumber slices dry with paper towels. Carefully add them to the bowl of mixed ingredients.
  5. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  6. Once everything is well combined, serve the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture.
