The Jennifer Aniston Salad, Did She Eat It? | Doug Cooking

The Jennifer Aniston Salad was the 7th most searched for recipe on Google in 2022, and for good reason. It's fresh and delicious with lots of veggies, hearty chickpeas and grains! But did she really eat this Mediterranean leaning salad mixed with herbs and tangy lemon dressing for 10 years while on the show 'Friends'? Maybe not, but we are all still better for it's viral popularity in 2022. Enjoy!

For the Salad...
3 cups Cooked Quinoa (or bulgur wheat, or orzo)
1 Hothouse cucumber, seeded and chopped
1/2 Red onion, peeled and diced
1 15 ounce can Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans), drained and rinsed
4 ounces Feta, diced
1 cup Fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup Pistachios, shelled and roasted

For the dressing...
2 Lemons
1/3 cup Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Honey
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Add the salad ingredients to a large shallow bowl. Meanwhile in a liquid measure, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, then the juice of both lemons (about 1/3 cup of juice). Add an equal amount of olive oil, then the remaining ingredients. Whisk to combine.

Dress the salad just a few minutes before serving and toss to combine. Store leftovers for 2-3 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
