Wash the Persian cucumbers thoroughly and julienne them into thin strips, then sprinkle with sea salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes in a colander.

Gently squeeze the cucumber strips to remove excess moisture and set aside in a clean bowl.

Hand shred the imitation crab meat into fine pieces, preparing about three cups.

In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, and pepper, whisk until smooth.

In a large bowl, gently toss the dried cucumber strips with shredded crab meat, then pour dressing over and mix gently.

Sprinkle optional garnishes like sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs on top and serve immediately.
