For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil to the salad. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of chili flakes to the dressing. Feel free to substitute the imitation crabmeat with cooked shrimp or real crabmeat for a richer flavor. Make sure to taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The balance of saltiness and acidity is key to this salad. For best results, use a mandoline to slice the cucumber for uniform thickness.
