Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Wash the mixed greens thoroughly and spin them dry in a salad spinner or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Set aside in a small bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat with the sliced cucumber and avocado. Gently toss to mix the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the dynamite dressing. Add the mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha if desired.
- To assemble the salad, place a generous amount of mixed greens on each plate or in a large serving bowl.
- Top the greens with the crab, cucumber, and avocado mixture, distributing it evenly across the salads.
- Drizzle the dynamite dressing over the top of the salad, using as much or as little as you prefer.
- For added flavor and presentation, you can garnish the salad with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh California Roll Salad with Dynamite Dressing!
Tips
- For the freshest taste, use crisp, cold mixed greens and slice your ingredients just before serving.
- To prevent browning, slice the avocado at the last minute and toss gently with other ingredients.
- Adjust the dynamite dressing's heat level by carefully controlling the sriracha amount - start with less and add to taste.
- For extra texture, consider toasting some sesame seeds to sprinkle on top as a garnish.
- If you can't find imitation crab, cooked and shredded real crab or even cooked shrimp work wonderfully in this recipe.
- Chill your serving plates beforehand for an extra-refreshing presentation.
