Jennifer Aniston Salad (2024)

When we saw this Jennifer Aniston salad recipe on TikTok, we knew we had to try it! It’s light, airy and packed full of nutrients! If you are looking for a nutrient-filled salad option, we highly recommend this one, a nod to debatably the funniest character on Friends, Rachel Greene. Or, is it?

is this the salad she ate on set?

If you are a Jennifer Aniston fan, you may have heard the rumors that she ate the “Jennifer Aniston Salad” every day on set while she filmed the hit reality tv show, Friends. Now, as much as we want to be BFF’s with Jennifer, we can’t confirm or deny this. It is more widely reported that she ate a “modified cobb salad” every single day for the ten or so year run, however this salad, also a Jennifer recommendation, is a winner in our books.

But, what we do know, is that this salad recipe is delicious and will leave you feeling healthy and full.

What’s in the Jennifer Aniston Salad?

• 3.5 cups cooked bulgur wheat (couscous or quinoa can also be used)
• 2-3 chopped small cucumber
• 1/2 cup choppedparsley
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
• 1 (15oz) canchickpeas, drained and rinsed
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta

What is a good substitute for bulgur flour?

Our local grocery store doesn’t carry bulgur flour. If you are also unable to find it, you can replace the bulgur flour for quinoa or couscous.

What does the Jennifer Aniston Salad taste like?

In one word, it’s refreshing. You can taste the mint! If you aren’t a big mint fan, we recommend omitting this ingredient. The lemon juice leaves a refreshing citrus taste in each bite. The cucumber and pistachios gives the salad a nice crunch and the creaminess of the feta is everything!
