Copycat Jennifer Aniston Salad
by: claire cary
This copycat Jennifer Aniston salad is fresh, flavorful and packed with crisp veggies like cucumber and radish, herbs and topped with a simple lemon olive oil vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups bone broth or chicken broth
- 3 mini cucumbers diced
- 3 radishes diced
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- ⅓ cup pistachios
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup mint diced
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley diced
- ½ cup feta
Instructions
- Add the quinoa and bone broth to a pot on the stove over medium high heat. You can use regular chicken broth, but I like bone broth for added protein.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, then simmer, uncovered for about 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for about 5 minutes to finish cooking. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, prep the veggies and add to a large mixing bowl with the herbs, chickpeas and feta.
- Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing.
- Once the quinoa has cooled a bit, add to the bowl with the veggies and toss with the dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
I love using bone broth to cook grains like rice and quinoa because it adds a good amount of protein without you really even realizing. If you want to make this recipe vegan or vegetarian, just swap with veggie broth.
