SUMMERY BASIL AND LEMON VEGAN 'CHICKEN' SALAD!

Vegan Chicken🐥

This summery basil and lemon vegan 'chicken' salad is a perfect addition for a sandwich, or for having it on its own since its summery, light and extremely flavorful! I have used the good old brined jackfruit but you can use a raw jackfruit, simmer it, allow it to cool down then shred it. Try to avoid the seeds since they have a very distinct texture. Enjoy!

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!
