Begin by washing and drying the Persian cucumbers. Julienne them into thin strips and sprinkle with a generous pinch of sea salt. Allow the cucumbers to sit for about 10 minutes.

While the cucumbers are resting, take your imitation crab meat and break it into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine mayonnaise, rice vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the julienned cucumbers with the shredded crab meat. Pour the prepared dressing over the top, and mix everything together carefully.

Transfer the salad into a serving bowl. Garnish with optional toppings such as sesame seeds or freshly chopped herbs. Serve right away while chilled.
