A light and refreshing dish that captures the essence of sushi flavors, combining fresh ingredients to create a vibrant salad.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded (or use real crab if desired)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black sesame seeds until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, shredded crab meat, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the ingredients are well coated without mashing the avocado.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy the refreshing crunch!
