How to Make Asian Californian Mexican Faux Crab Salad

1. Prepare the avocado: Dice 1 large avocado and gently toss with 1 tablespoon lime juice to prevent browning.
2. Combine the faux crab: In a large bowl, combine 1 (14.75 oz) can of hearts of palm (drained and roughly chopped), mimicking the texture of crab meat, with 1/2 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
3. Make the dressing: Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin in a small bowl.
4. Assemble the salad: Add the diced avocado to the crab mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
5. Serve immediately: Enjoy the refreshing and flavorful salad as is, or serve it over a bed of mixed greens for added texture.
6. Optional Garnish: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra cilantro for added visual appeal and flavor.
