Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering your fresh ingredients. Thinly slice the large cucumber and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the same mixing bowl, gently introduce the imitation crab meat to the sliced cucumber, diced avocado, and green onions. Use a spatula to turn the ingredients together softly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
  4. Pour the homemade dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together with a spatula.
  5. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  6. When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer it to a serving bowl. Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds on top.
