Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz [440 g] can of young jackfruit (we order it on Amazon.com)
  • 1 Stalk of Celery finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion ¼ cup 38 g, finely chopped
  • 1 heaping tbsp. 3 g fresh chopped parsley leaves

  • 2 tablespoon 30 g unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt (I used Kite Hill almond)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Ground sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Drain and rinse the jackfruit and pulse in a food processor until it’s shredded and resembles canned tuna. If you don’t have a food processor you can chop it with a knife.
  2. Put the jackfruit in a medium mixing bowl and add the celery, onion, parsley mustard, yogurt, paprika, and salt and pepper and stir until it’s fully combined.
  3. Serve as is or as a sandwich.

Notes

  • If you prefer your salad with mayonnaise you can add 3 tablespoon (45 g) of vegan mayo and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of Dijon mustard.
