Cuisine: Asian
- 1-2 English cucumbers
- 1 can 120gm. crab meat, drained
- Mayonnaise to desired consistency
- Salt to taste
- Pickled ginger cut into small strips and forms into a rose by rolling
- Avocado cut into small triangles
Take a wide strip from one of the cucumbers, peeling it very thinly like you would an apple, going around the vegetable. Slice into a triangle and lay on a plate. Mix the crab and mayonnaise lightly in a small bowl, season with salt and then set aside. Cut cucumber into 3/4" slices and scoop out some of the seeds with a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works really well for this). Add a dollop of the crab and garnish with the avocado and a small rose of ginger. Serve immediately.
