Description
California Roll Cucumbers are a refreshing, low-carb twist on the classic sushi roll, made by topping cucumber slices with creamy crab mixture, avocado, and a touch of sesame. They’re quick, easy, and perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional for a kick)
- 1/2 avocado, diced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (for drizzling)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix shredded crab meat with mayonnaise and sriracha (if using) until well combined.
- Top each cucumber slice with a small spoonful of the crab mixture.
- Add a few pieces of diced avocado on top of each.
- Drizzle lightly with soy sauce.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chives or green onions.
- Serve immediately as a fresh, bite-sized appetizer.
Notes
- Use real crab meat if preferred, though imitation is more traditional for California rolls.
- Make ahead and refrigerate, but add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
- You can add a small amount of wasabi or pickled ginger for extra sushi-style flair.
