My Favorite Summer Jackfruit Salad Lunch/Brunch ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŒบ

โ€ข28 Replies

Lunch/Brunch is the most important and favorite meal of the day for me so I always love to take it up a notch and today is Jackfruit Salad, my way, my style. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My Mom always told me if youโ€™re going to eat, you eat the best and be ware what youโ€™re going to put in your body.โค๏ธ

Main Ingredients: shredded jackfruits with onions, sautรฉed shrimps, peanuts, basils, cilantros all marinated in balsamic vinegar.

Dessert: Pistachio ice cream and hibiscus ice tea.

I love having this combination with sesame rice crackers. It is light and fulfilling at the same time.

As always, be inspired, be happy, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

I bought a can of jackfruit about 2 years ago, but still haven't figured out what to do with it! Might need to use a little for something like this! It sounds nice :)

I know I will be at the top of my game soon with Koko around here๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค—.

Please give it try. You can make curry, or sautรฉed with dried fish also. There are so many ways to cook it. ๐Ÿ˜‹ I canโ€™t imagine how much creativity you can cook once you have jackfruit trees in your backyard. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Wow I NEVER had breadfruits before, how does it taste like comparing to jackfruit? ๐Ÿค”

Hmmm if I may ask, how would you describe the taste? ๐Ÿค” itโ€™s absolutely no doubt heaven is right in your backyard Happyman4! ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ‘

I see. Thank you for explaining to me. ๐Ÿ™ You have very kind neighbors and Iโ€™m sure they appreciate to have you and your family around. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Beautiful! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘Œ

Hi Koko, I agree with your mum as food is our fuel and weโ€™ve seen the price people pay for fast processed foods do it costs too much for me.

Eat well sleep well with plenty of exercise =a healthy lifestyle. ๐Ÿ˜Š

โ€ข in reply to

Hi Jerry, thatโ€™s a great healthy lifestyle formula. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

I absolutely am all about eating well, plenty of rest and exercise as well as having creativities in my life journey.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ

GreatMindfulness,

It sounds like you've enjoyed a very interesting brunch- I think it's the time to be creative with concocting recipes for summer food such as salads- especially in this heat!!

Thank you for sharing xx

โ€ข in reply toTaurusLady

Thank you TaurusLady. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ You are absolutely right we can have so much fun creating not only salad but also fruit bowl and drinks in this heat. Let your imagination run and maybe we will get to see your creation post sometime in the near future also. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Youโ€™re welcomed and Have a wonderful rest of the day! ๐Ÿค—โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒบ

thanks for sharing.

What does jackfruit taste like?

โ€ข in reply toSubtle_badger

Youโ€™re welcomed. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ When jackfruits are unripe, they taste a bit sour or some just neutral. When they are ripe, they are sweet and savory.

Not what you're looking for?
