LOW CARB SPICY SRIRACHA CRAB AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Low Carb Spicy Sriracha Crab and Cucumber Salad image

I originally came across this recipe on Pinterest, and it was posted from a wonderful blog called peasandcrayons.com. This is a great quick lunch to fix with easy-to-come-by ingredients (living in CO, I use imitation crab more often than not), and can be a low carb and quick fix to a sushi craving. It is awesome!

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 large cucumber
rice vinegar, to taste (optional)
4 ounces jumbo lump crab meat, cooked or 4 ounces imitation crabmeat
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, to taste
1/2 avocado, diced
1 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

First peel the skin from your cucumber.
Next, use a spiralizer to turn your cucumber into even more refreshing noodles (or you can just chop it, like I do).
Drizzle the noodles very lightly with optional rice vinegar.
In a small bowl, combine the mayo and Sriracha to make "spicy mayo".
Shred the crab, or chop it up with a knife.
Combine the crab with the spicy mayo and put on top of the cucumber.
Top with avocado.
Garnish with panko breadcrumbs and dig in!
