Ingredients
Jackfruit:
• 20 oz. can jackfruit in brine, drained, seeded, and shredded
• 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 3 tbsp vegetable broth
• 1 and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
Creamy Cilantro Dressing:
• 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked and drained
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup cilantro
• 1/4 jalapeno
• 1 garlic clove
• Juice of 1 lime
Salad:
• Desired amounts of lettuce, corn, red onion, and tomatoes
1. First, make the jackfruit. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat sauté the jackfruit and all the seasonings for 5 to 7 minutes. Add a bit of vegetable broth if it gets too dry. You are aiming for a thick “stew” consistency. Then turn off and set aside.
2. Next, make the Creamy Cilantro Dressing by adding all dressing ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth.
3. Assemble the salad, top with jackfruit and desired amount of dressing.
Serves 2.
