  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped imitation crab meat

1/2 diced avocado

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1/3 cup whipped cream cheese

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

2 teaspoons furikake (divided and optional)

Seaweed squares or nori (optional, for added flavor)

Sriracha or sriracha mayo to taste (optional, for spice)

Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1-Getting this California Roll Cucumber Salad ready: is as easy as it gets, and you’ll have it done in under 10 minutes. Start by combining the thinly sliced English cucumber, chopped imitation crab meat, diced avocado, and shredded carrot in a container for even mixing. This step ensures all the fresh elements blend well without losing their crunch.

2-Next: add the whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and half of the furikake to the container. Seal it up and shake everything well to coat the ingredients evenly, creating that creamy, flavorful dressing on the spot. To keep the avocado texture just right, stir it in gently after shaking rather than letting it get mashed.

3-Once mixed: sprinkle the remaining furikake on top for a nice finish. You can enjoy it straight from the container or transfer it to a bowl and garnish with extra cucumber slices, sriracha, more furikake, or sliced green onions. This method makes the salad versatile for any meal, especially if you’re prepping for a group.
