3 - 4 cups Shredded Jackfruit ((Two 14 oz. Cans))
1/2 - 1 cup Vegan Mayo ((See Notes))
1 Celery Stalk ((small dice))
1/2 Shallot ((small dice))
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
2 Tbsp Chopped Dill
1 - 2 Tbsp Chopped Chives
1 Tbsp Sweet Relish
1 tsp Chopped Capers
1 tsp Caper Brine
2 Tbsp Pepperoncinis ((diced))
Juice of 1/2 - 1 Lemon
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast ((or to taste))
1 - 2 tsp Vegan Furikake or Crushed Nori Sheets ((more to taste, optional for sea flavor))
Salt & Pepper ((to taste))

Drain the jackfruit, you can wash them too, but I like the briny flavor. Shred by hand or with a knife. I will start shredding by hand and then do a finer chop with a knife. Pat dry with a paper towel.
If using Nori sheets, blend them up in a blender or food processor so they are blitzed as fine as possible.
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Season to taste!
Then combine the dressing with jackfruit. Season to taste again! Adding more salt, herbs, acid whatever you think it needs! Enjoy with crackers or on a sandwich.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3 - 4 days.

Husband rates it a 4 says it's pretty good. I made 1/2 batch thank goodness as it makes a lot. I used your tofu mayonnaise recipe - it is very good. I used way more than it called for as the tuna was way too tangy. I added about 2 extra Tbl of nutritional yeast also and it turned out pretty good. I think next time I will leave out the dill and the lemon until after I have mixed everything up and then add it if desired. I would also like to try the garbanzo/jackfruit combo that others have done. I will definitely make again, jackfruit is very nutritious. Thank you for sharing this recipe

This recipe is solid, love it! I omit the dill just cause I don't like it, but the recipe is a keeper! I have made it numerous times now, and it's always fantastic. I did make it once with a silken tofu mayo, just to try to get in some protein, but it was nasty and I wouldn't recommend it. I have also added some crumbled extra firm tofu in with the jackfruit, that was a good mix in.
