Meatless Friday: Jackfruit Tuna Salad (Vegan)

Elizabeth Varga shares a 5-minute vegan alternative to the grab-and-go favorite tuna salad sandwich. Download our printable recipe card!

Make a delicious plant-based version of tuna salad using jackfruit! This Jackfruit Tuna Salad is a vegan alternative to the classic recipe. Ready in 5 minutes!

I have to be honest: even before going vegan, I was never really a fan of tuna. Personally, I was more of a chicken salad kind of girl (and have since become a chickpea salad kind of girl!)

But I don't think I ever tried a proper tuna salad. Ya know? One that has lots of fresh veggies and bright flavors.

Tuna salad may be a grab-and-go type of food, but it can still be fresh and bright and delicious!

And that's what this vegan version of tuna salad is!

It's made from whole, plant foods. And with the incredible power of plants, this salad has a shockingly fishy taste and texture (without being too overwhelming.)

And it's got a tuna salad skeptic like me going back for seconds. Win!
