Mashed Chickpea & Jackfruit Salad

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
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ of a ripe avocado
  • 2 Tbsp Udo’s Oil 3+6+9 Blend
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes
  • Pinch turmeric

 

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Pull the jackfruit apart with your fingers so it resembles shredded pieces, then add it to the bowl.
  3. Stir in the mayonnaise and Udo’s Oil Blend, mixing well to combine.
  4. Add the dill, lemon juice, pepper, sea salt, paprika, chili flakes and turmeric. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for about one hour before serving to allow the flavours to develop.

 

Serving Suggestions

This salad can be enjoyed in several ways:

  • Spread onto sandwiches or wraps
  • Served with crackers or vegetable sticks
  • Added to grain bowls or salads
  • Spoon over toast for a quick lunch
