How to make the Viral Jennifer Aniston Salad

This is one of the best easy salad recipes you’ll be making all summer long! Here’s how to prep it:

First cook your quinoa. The original recipe from Jen Aniston used bulgur wheat but this can be quite hard to find (it was for me anyways) so we’re using quinoa instead! Cook one cup of dry quinoa and let it cool by placing it on a plate in the fridge or by running it under cold water.

Chop up your veggies and prep the rest of the ingredients. Add them to a large bowl with the cooled quinoa.

Next, add in the dressing! All you need is a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of two lemons and you’re all set!

Give the salad a toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste!

Some tips from Steph

Make it ahead of time and use it for meal prep! Since this salad is a no lettuce salad it stores beautifully in the fridge for up to 5 days! Just pre-portion the salad into 4 or 5 containers to enjoy throughout the week!

Swap the quinoa! The original recipe by Jen Aniston used bulgur wheat but you can use any grain you’d like. Cous cous would be another great option!

Make it low carb! You can make this recipe low carb by swapping the quinoa for lettuce or spinach!

Make it oil free! You can omit the oil in this recipe although I do think it adds a lovely flavor to the salad!

Don’t like the taste of raw onions? You can take away most of their bite by soaking them in cool water for 10 minutes! This will also remove your onion breath!

Swap the pistachios for any other nut you’d like! Walnuts and slivered almonds would also work great here!
