Aniston Salad
Spending extra time in the kitchen this snowy weekend. This is my favorite salad of all time, I pretty eat it everyday @thefarmersdaughterscafe. I once read that Jennifer Aniston ate this daily on the set of Friends and after recreating the salad at the cafe I see why the whole internet was obsessed. Here is our version.
Ingredients: Make 2-4 servings
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1 cup cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup mint, Finley chopped
1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup pistachios
1 (15oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 lemons, juiced
1 cup spinach, chopped
Olive Oil
Sea Salt & Fresh Pepper
Dressing
You can use any dressing you like. Here is my go-to
Shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper.
Method:
Cook the quinoa, according to the package. Pour onto platter to cool. I like to add olive oil, salt and pepper…then fluff.
Prepare all other ingredients and place into a bowl. Add the quinoa and toss with dressing and lemon juice. Top with avocado or protein of choice. I love 2 hard boiled eggs or tuna added to this salad.
