Questions

How much time should I plan for Breadfruit Salad?

As written, 40 minutes: 20 of prep and 20 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 6, 1 hour. That wait sits outside the stated prep and cook times, so plan around it.

Why fold instead of stir in Breadfruit Salad?

Step 5 reads: "Add cooled 4 cups peeled, cubed breadfruit, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 diced celery stalk, and 1/4 cup sliced green onion to the bowl and gently fold until coated." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 5 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Is Breadfruit Salad gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Breadfruit Salad is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the mustard.

Does Breadfruit Salad contain eggs?

Yes: 1/2 cup mayonnaise. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Breadfruit Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) is about 250 calories, with 3 g protein, 35 g carbohydrate and 12 g fat, plus 5 g fiber and 380 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Breadfruit Salad?

It is not a good candidate. Dressed, it is best the day it is made, so keep the dressing apart and toss Breadfruit Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
