Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing your English cucumbers into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife. Sprinkle the slices with a pinch of salt, then let them drain in a colander for 15-20 minutes. Pat the drained slices dry with a paper towel before proceeding.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cucumber slices with diced crab or imitation crab. Add in the cubed avocado shortly before serving and gently stir using a spatula.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Adjust the quantities according to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber, crab, and avocado mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  5. Enjoy your California Roll Cucumber Salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator before serving. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or chopped scallions before serving.
