Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 13 oz can or package of jackfruit in water or brine, drained and shredded
- 2 tablespoons minced celery
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion, tip: soak in cold water for 5 minutes and drain
- 1 teaspoon minced flat-leaf parsley
- ⅓ cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp nori or kelp granules
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 English muffins, split, or 4 slices sourdough, rye, or whole wheat bread, or 2 bagels
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (optional)
- vegan cheese (I used 1 cup of vegan shredded sharp cheddar)
Instructions
Tuna Salad:
- In a small mixing bowl break up the jackfruit with a fork. Toss in minced celery, onion, and parsley. Add the vegan mayonnaise, dijon mustard, nori or kelp, and season with pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, if you want.
Tuna Melt:
- Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
- Toast your bagel, english muffins or slices of bread.
- Optionally, spread the toasted bagel, english muffin or bread with mayonnaise or vegan butter,.
- Next, top with the vegan tuna salad and then vegan cheese. Place on baking sheet and put under the broiler heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe keeps for 3-5 day and tastes even better the longer you have it in the fridge as it absorbs more and more of the flavour over time.
Intead of bread, you can also top this vegan tuna salad on top of a fresh garden salad!
