Vegan Jackfruit Salad Sandwich

Step 1

Drain and rinse the jackfruit and pat it dry with a clean towel. Make sure to dry as much water as possible so that the salad isn't soggy. Add the jackfruit to a large bowl and use a potato masher to mash the jackfruit until it is broken up and looks shredded. Sometimes jackfruit can be quite tender while sometimes it can be tougher, so if you have a tougher jackfruit it might take a bit of strength mash. If you prefer you can first chop the jackfruit as directed in this post before mashing it to make it a bit easier to mash.

Step 2

Add all of the remaining jackfruit salad ingredients to the bowl along with the mashed jackfruit and stir well to combine.

Step 3

To make vegan jackfruit salad sandwiches: toast the bread if desired. Layer 4 slices of bread with a lettuce leaf (if using) and then follow with a generous serving of the vegan jackfruit salad. Top with the remaining slices of bread and serve.
