There’s a salad out there that’s credited to Jennifer Aniston.
Maybe she created it, or maybe she didn’t. Still, we can all agree that it’s delicious, no matter whose recipe it is.
This salad contains healthy ingredients like quinoa, pistachios, mint, and chickpeas.
So you can enjoy it and feel good about yourself while doing so!
Plus, the combination of flavors is amazing. Give the Jennifer Aniston salad a try and see what you think!
Okay, I don’t know as much as I should about the Jennifer Aniston salad.
I know she publicly praised it when she shared the recipe on Instagram several years ago.
In fact, she called it the perfect salad. That’s pretty high praise.
I’ve also heard she ate it religiously while filming Friends. But I’m unsure of that statement’s accuracy.

What I do know is that the salad is fantastic!
I always make mine with quinoa. However, you could substitute bulgur wheat (or farro).
Some people also go a bit heavier on the veggies.
I stick pretty closely to the recipe. I’ll sometimes add a little kale and fresh garlic, but those are the only changes I make.
The recipe is just so tasty, as written.
It’s full of contrasting flavors, textures, and even colors! It’s a real party for your tongue and tastebuds.
The bright, zingy lemon and feta pair perfectly with the earthiness of the quinoa and herbs.
Plus, it’s just so healthy. I have nothing bad to say about this salad.
Try it for yourself. You’ll see what I mean.
Here’s what you’ll need to make Jennifer Aniston’s famous salad:
1. Prepare the quinoa. Start by rinsing and draining it. Then, add it to a small part with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the quinoa simmer for 15 minutes. After it’s done, remove it from the stove and use a fork to fluff it.

2. Let the quinoa cool. It needs to rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes to cool.
3. Make the salad. Mix the quinoa with the other ingredients. (Cucumbers, parsley, mint, onions, pistachios, chickpeas, lemon juice, and olive oil.)
Then, add salt and pepper to suit your tastes and top with feta cheese. Mix well.
4. Refrigerate. You can serve this salad immediately. However, it tastes best when it’s had at least 2 hours to chill first.
Truthfully, this salad doesn’t need a lot of tips and tricks to make it good. You can pretty much follow the recipe, and it turns out delicious.
However, you can do a few things to make it even better.
Storing this salad is a breeze. Because it has so few leafy greens, it doesn’t wilt or lose its texture.
(That makes it an excellent choice for meal-prepping, too!)
Whether you’re prepping or have leftovers, storage is the same.
Transfer everything to an air-tight, refrigerator-safe container, and pop it in the fridge. That’s all it takes.
It should stay fresh for up to 5 days and usually tastes best on day 2.
The lemon vinaigrette has time to sink into everything, really making the flavors pop!
