Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber
  • rice vinegar to taste
  • 4 oz quality jumbo lump crab meat (the pre-cooked kind)
  • 1 TBSP homemade or store-bought mayo
  • 2 tsp Sriracha plus extra to taste
  • 1/2-1 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

    Cup of Yum
  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.
