How to Prepare Filipino Macaroni Salad [Vegan]

  1. Boil a pot of salted water then add the elbow macaroni. Cook until soft but firm to bite.
  2. Before turning off the heat, add carrots and boil for another minute. Turn off heat, drain, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, using the same pot, combine unripe jackfruit and vegetable broth. Put to a boil then turn off heat. Let it cool. After cooling down, the jackfruit should have fully absorbed the liquid. If not, drain the liquid.
  4. Once macaroni and carrots have cooled down, add rest of the ingredients. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a sweet tang, you could add about a teaspoon of sweet pickle relish.
