Spicy Sriracha Crab and Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber
  • rice vinegar, to taste
  • 4 oz quality (cooked) jumbo lump crab meat
  • 1 TBSP homemade or store-bought mayo
  • 2 tsp sriracha chili sauce, plus extra to taste
  • 1/2 an avocado, sliced
  • a pinch of salt

TASTY TOPPINGS:

  • 1-2 tsp toasted sesame and/or chia seeds
  • 1 TBSP panko breadcrumbs (optional; skip for paleo/GF)

Instructions:

  1. First peel the skin from your cucumber.
  2. Next, use a spiral slicer or a vegetable peeler to turn that super refreshing veggie into even more refreshing noodles.
  3. Drizzle the noodles very lightly with rice vinegar. You can skip this step if you’re not a fan of vinegar or acidity; I’ve had the dish both ways and find it delightful regardless.
  4. Next, use a fork or your fingers to shred the crab.
  5. Combine with mayo and sriracha and set atop the noodles.
  6. Top with sliced avocado. I added extra after the photo was snapped; helloooo healthy fats. Sprinkle avocado with a teeny pinch of salt to season.
  7. Garnish with sesame/chia seeds and optional panko and dig in!
