Crab salad with cucumber - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, imitation crab is a perfect substitute as it's essentially the same product with a different name. Use equal amounts for the same delicious results.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. For best texture, add fresh herbs just before serving as they wilt quickly.
Try marinated diced heart of palm or shredded jackfruit for similar texture. Add nori flakes or kelp powder for subtle seafood flavor.
Freezing isn't recommended. Cucumbers release water when thawed, and mayonnaise-based dressings tend to separate, creating an unpleasant texture.
Replace rice with riced cauliflower (steamed and cooled). Reduce corn quantity or substitute with diced radishes for crunch.
Salt cucumber cubes and let drain in a colander for 15 minutes before adding. This draws out excess moisture while enhancing flavor.
Absolutely! Use vegan mayo, substitute eggs with mashed avocado or tofu scramble crumbles, and choose plant-based crab alternatives.
Serve in cucumber cups, lettuce wraps, or hollowed-out tomatoes. Great as a sandwich filling or stuffed in avocado halves.
This recipe scales beautifully. Maintain ingredient ratios but cook rice in batches for even texture. Mix dressing separately before combining.
