This mashed chickpea and jackfruit salad is a simple plant-based recipe that offers a creamy texture and savoury flavour. By combining mashed beans with shredded jackfruit, the mixture develops a hearty consistency that works well as a sandwich filling, salad topping or light meal.
Avocado and mayonnaise add creaminess, while lemon juice and fresh dill bring brightness and freshness. A drizzle of Udo’s Oil Blend helps tie the flavours together while adding a smooth finish.
This versatile salad can be served on toasted bread, wrapped in lettuce, or enjoyed alongside crackers and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 can young jackfruit, drained and rinsed well
- ⅔ cup white beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Method
- Place the white beans or chickpeas and avocado into a mixing bowl. Mash them together using a fork until mostly combined but still slightly chunky.

- Stir in the mayonnaise and Udo’s Oil Blend, mixing well to combine.
