Vegan Tuna Salad (Jackfruit Tuna)
This vegan tuna salad uses jackfruit in place of tuna fish! It’s quick, super easy to make, and you only need a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 (19) oz can young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 1 small carrot diced
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper
Optional:
- Bread
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Onion
Instructions
- Gently squeeze out any excess water in the jackfruit before adding it to a food processor.
- Pulse 5-6 times until it appears shredded. Do not over blend. Remove it from the food processor and add it to a large bowl.
- Add the diced onions, diced carrot, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt and pepper to the jackfruit.
- Mix well until combined. Spread jackfruit tuna on bread and add your favorite sandwich toppings, or serve it with some crackers.
Notes
- Make sure to use canned, young green jackfruit in brine, not syrup. I can usually find jackfruit at Trader Joes, Asian grocery stores or in the International aisle of grocery stores.
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit in cold water. I like to wash the taste of the brine away so it doesn’t impact the overall flavor. Gently squeeze the excess water out of the jackfruit
