The Jennifer Aniston Salad is a fresh, protein-packed grain salad made with bulgur, chickpeas, crunchy cucumbers, herbs, and feta, all tossed in a light lemon-olive oil dressing. It’s refreshing, easy to make, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked bulgur wheat (or quinoa/farro)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook bulgur wheat according to package instructions. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooled bulgur, chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint, and feta.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  5. Stir in chopped pistachios if using.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Use quinoa or couscous for a gluten-free option.
  • Omit feta or use dairy-free cheese for a vegan version.
  • Add avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Great with grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
  • Add pistachios just before serving to keep them crunchy.
