Jackfruit Tacos – Another recipe featuring one of our favorite Southeast Asian fruits, the jackfruit. Taco Tuesday gets a refreshing makeover with these delicious, quick, and plant-based jackfruit tacos. Known for its large size, one jackfruit can weigh up to 120 lbs., but don’t sweat it––you can find it canned in most stores. We love jackfruit for its meat-like texture and sweet flavor.

Beet and Watermelon Salad – Perfect for days when turning the oven on is neither an option nor a desire. This salad is light, healthy, juicy, and will go fast!
