Jackfruit 'Chicken' Salad

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 13:08:50 GMT

Step 1

Open two cans of jackfruit then strain the liquid and break down the slices to get finer pieces and shreds. If the jackfruit was in a brine, I like to rinse the jackfruit 3-4 times to remove some of the canned liquid. Set aside in a medium to large bowl. *If you're using fresh jackfruit there's no need for the extra rinsing step.

Step 2

Next, finely chop the apples, onion, celery, and pecans. Add them to the same bowl with the jackfruit and squeeze half the lemon juice and a little bit of pickle juice before mixing and let the ingredients sit for a few minutes.

Step 3

Then you can add the vegan mayo, store bought is fine, such as Follow Your Heart's, but I used the recipe from Loving It Vegan. It's very simple and you can control the flavor a bit more!

Step 4

Add your spices and mustard. The spices are to taste, and if it's ever too salty you can add more lemon juice. Mix everything together until well incorporated and the flavors are to your liking.

Step 5

At this point you're all done! Simply cover the bowl or transfer to tupperware and let the salad chill until you're ready to have some. It's good in wraps, sandwiches, with crackers, and even by itself.
