Vegan ’Chicken’ Salad Jackfruit & Avocado (What is Jackfruit) | The Frugal Chef

Jackfruit is a very good substitute for meat. It is very nutritious and inexpensive. It has the texture of meat without being spongy, like tofu. In this recipe, we are going to make a mock avocado chicken salad sandwich. We will shred the drained jackfruit, mix it with scallion, bell pepper and cilantro and then envelope it in avocado and vegan mayo. You will not believe how delicious this is. If you close your eyes you will think you are eating meat. Jackfruit is an exotic and large fruit that grows in tropical areas. It can reach up to 80 pounds in weight! It is high in calcium, potassium and protein. It is high in antioxidants and in vitamin A and C. It also contains minerals. And, it is very budget friendly! You can prepare Jackfruit in many ways. We used to serve it in a vegan BBQ sauce at our restaurant (ArepaTX in Dallas), inside a crisp arepa. This was very popular amongst our vegan customers. I think you will enjoy this recipe if you decide to make it! We will be making this recipe with our home
