This classic sandwich takes under 10 minutes to make vegan using jackfruit, celery, onions, vegan mayo, and a few simple vegan ingredients that give it that authentic tuna melt taste (which non-vegans won’t even know the difference!)

Author's Notes

This recipe keeps for 3-5 days and tastes even better the longer you have it in the fridge as it absorbs more and more of the flavor over time.

Instead of bread, you can also top this vegan tuna salad on top of a fresh garden salad!

Make the Tuna Salad. In a small mixing bowl, break up the Young Green Jackfruit in Water (1 can) with a fork.
