What is the fuzz over the Jennifer Aniston salad?

I must say that I am quite monomaniacal when it comes to food. Especially when I want to pull myself through the fitness funnel again. Then in the morning it's a protein shake, in the afternoon stir-fried vegetables with tuna, a Barebells bar as a snack, and in the evening again chicken with vegetables. Something like that. At our office, Lianne always makes a delicious stir-fry dish for me, with egg mixed in. Anyway. I totally understand that Jennifer Aniston ate the same thing every day on the set of Friends for ten years – mind you. You want something that tastes good and you want to know what's in it. The secret recipe appeared on Instagram a while ago, but seems to have been removed again, very strange. In the meantime, the recipe went viral on TikTok and Insta, because everyone wants this, because if it’s good enough for Jen, it’s good enough for us.

But what does the fact say? She really ate the same salad every day (by the way, together with Lisa Kudrow and Courteney), but it wasn't this one. And she also personalized it with bacon and all sorts of things. Chickpeas don't seem to be her favorites, which explains why the recipe was removed from Insta. Anyway, I'm sharing it with you because it still sounds delightful in my ears. And who knows, maybe Jen will want to share her real recipe with us soon...

120 grams of bulgur, 480 ml of water, 1/2 finely chopped red onion, 1/2 finely chopped parsley, some finely chopped mint, 50 grams of finely chopped pistachios, 2 mini cucumbers, 75 grams of chickpeas, and finally 30 grams of crumbled feta.

The recipe:
1. First, put the cup of bulgur in a pot and add the two cups of water. Cook it until done.

2. Then cut all your vegetables into small cubes, tear the herbs into small pieces, and mix everything in a bowl. When the bulgur is ready, add it along with the chickpeas.

3. Finally, sprinkle the feta on top (which you have crumbled by the way) and the finely chopped pistachios. Spice it up with salt, pepper, and some lemon juice, and you're all set.

Maybe I'll ask Lianne to make this for me next time.
