Jennifer Aniston Salad

PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 15 SERVINGS: 6

Some sources say she ate the salad every day for 10 years while filming the show Friends, but after a little research I found that this is actually a salad she shared while doing an Instagram takeover for the Living Proof brand. In the caption, Aniston said the salad, with bulgur, cucumbers, parsley, mint, red onion, chickpeas, feta cheese, and pistachios was her “perfect salad.”

Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa, uncooked

• 2 cups Water

• 1 cup Cucumber, chopped

• 1/2 cup Parsley, chopped

• 1/2 cup Mint, chopped

• 1/3 cup Red Onion, chopped

• 1/2 cup Pistachios, chopped

• 15 oz Chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

• Ground pepper

• Sea Salt

Rinse and drain quinoa. Add quinoa and water to a small pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, stir together cooked quinoa, cucumber, parsley, mint, red onion, pistachios, chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and feta.

Serve immediately or let the salad chill in the fridge a couple hours before serving.
