My Favorite Summer Jackfruit Salad Lunch/Brunch πŸ˜‹β€οΈπŸŒΊ

β€’28 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. πŸ˜‰

My Mom always told me if you’re going to eat, you eat the best and be ware what you’re going to put in your body.❀️

Main Ingredients: shredded jackfruits with onions, sautΓ©ed 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! πŸ˜‹β€οΈ

Salads are always best during Summer time and we can have fun mix and match with them. 😁

You’re welcome and I hope you enjoyed your lunch as much as I just did! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ™πŸŒΊ

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 :)

Awe thank you Cooper27. πŸ˜πŸ™Yes, this is so easy to make and you can make curry with canned jackfruit too. πŸ˜‹πŸ‘

Enjoy the rest of your day! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸŒΊ

I know I will be at the top of my game soon with Koko around hereπŸ˜πŸ€—.

Please give it try. You can make curry, or sautΓ©ed with dried fish also. There are so many ways to cook it. πŸ˜‹ I can’t imagine how much creativity you can cook once you have jackfruit trees in your backyard. πŸ˜πŸ‘

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

Hmmm if I may ask, how would you describe the taste? πŸ€” it’s absolutely no doubt heaven is right in your backyard Happyman4! πŸ˜‡πŸ‘

I see. Thank you for explaining to me. πŸ™ You have very kind neighbors and I’m sure they appreciate to have you and your family around. 😊

Beautiful! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘Œ

Hi Koko, I agree with your mum as food is our fuel and we’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. 😊

in reply to

Hi Jerry, that’s a great healthy lifestyle formula. πŸ˜πŸ‘

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! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸŒΊ

Thank you TaurusLady. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ 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. πŸ˜πŸ‘

thanks for sharing.

What does jackfruit taste like?

in reply to Subtle_badger

You’re welcomed. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ When jackfruits are unripe, they taste a bit sour or some just neutral. When they are ripe, they are sweet and savory.
