Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP homemade or store-bought mayo
  • 2 tsp Sriracha plus extra to taste

Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. First peel the skin from your cucumber.
  2. Next, use a spiralizer 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!

Notes

  • If paleo or gluten-free simply skip the optional panko topping.
