Jennifer Aniston Salad
Jul 07, 2024 06:29 AM
The Jennifer Aniston Salad became famous on social media! It’s a mix of chickpeas, herbs, veggies, pistachios, feta cheese, and a simple lemon dressing.
Even though this is called her “ideal” salad, it’s not the famous salad she ate daily while filming Friends. Her co-star, Courtney Cox, shared in an interview that she, Jennifer, and Lisa Kudrow ate a Cobb Salad together every day for lunch.
So, while this viral salad isn’t the one she had on set, it’s her current favorite. I’ve added my own twists and might just eat it every day for months!
