Ingredients
  

  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped imitation crab meat
  • 1/2 avocado ((diced))
  • 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, optional or to taste))
  • seaweed squares or Nori ((optional, to taste))
  • sriracha and/or sriracha mayo ((to taste))
  • sliced green onion ((for garnish))

Method
 

  1. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice cucumber into thin slices.
  2. Place cucumber slices into a 32 ounce plastic lidded container or any shakeable container with a lid. The cucumbers should take up about half of the container when gently pressed down. Add crab meat, avocado and carrots.
  3. Top with whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar and half of the furikake and place lid tightly over the container.
  4. Shake well until ingredients are combined. It's not the prettiest at this point but it is delicious! Sprinkle remaining furikake over the top, or to taste and enjoy directly out of the container.
  5. Optional: If you want to make it prettier for serving, pour the contents out into a serving bowl and top with additional cucumbers (if you have any extra that didn't fit in the container), and a drizzle of sriracha and/or sriracha mayo. I also like to garnish with a little extra furikake and some sliced green onion.

Notes

The key to this dish's success lies in the use of whipped cream cheese, which adds a rich creaminess that complements the fresh ingredients. Its emulsifying properties also help bind the flavors together, creating a harmonious blend that elevates the overall taste and texture of the salad.
