When menu planning it is well worth keeping in mind however that there is no significant protein so the pulled jackfruit slider should be accompanied by a high-protein side dish like a chickpea salad or tofu fries to create a well-balanced meal.
This recipe uses a very simple cabbage and mayonnaise slaw however this can be upgraded to your favorite slaw or include a storebought cabbage vegetable mix or a fancier mayo such as wasabi or sriracha styles.
