During a recent visit, my sistren Winsome said:
"You know, you can use breadfruit to make a salad, like a potato salad. You don't have to use mayonnaise as the salad dressing. You can make a vegan vinaigrette instead."
And so I did.
We cooked and chopped a fit breadfruit from our tree Freddy and added some leftover cooked split peas for protein.
Our farmstead fruit vineger and a ripe banana blended together to bring the sweet-tangy creamy sensation we'd get from a mayo-based dressing.
Flavoured with chopped herbs and seasonings from the forest garden:
+ garlic vine
+ pepper elder
+ scotch bonnet pepper
+ wild basil
+ pimento leaf (gift from Winsome's farm)
It turned out nice.
So nice, it was a challenge to stop eating and hold back a few spoonfuls for the photo.
