Wash 2-3 Persian cucumbers under cool water, then julienne them into 1/4 inch strips.

Sprinkle cucumber strips with sea salt and let sit in a colander for 5-10 minutes to draw out moisture.

Squeeze excess water from cucumbers and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Shred 8 ounces of imitation crab meat into smaller pieces and combine with cucumbers in a bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon sugar, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and crab mixture, gently tossing to coat.

Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs before serving.
