Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Persian Cucumbers
- 8 oz Imitation Crab Meat
- 1/2 cup Mayo
- 1 tbsp Vinegar
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Begin by washing your Persian cucumbers under cool water. Slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a small spoon. Then, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- If you’re using imitation crab meat, gently break it apart in a bowl until it’s in small shreds.
- In a separate bowl, combine your mayo, vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, and pepper. Stir until everything is well blended.
- Slide your chopped cucumbers and shredded crab meat into the dressing bowl. Gently fold everything together using a spatula.
- Give your salad a taste. Adjust flavors as needed with more vinegar or sugar.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a finishing touch.
Notes
For added flavor, try using real crab meat or adding fresh herbs. Adjust the mayonnaise for a healthier option.
