Instructions

For The Salad

The first step is to rinse and drain your quinoa. Next, add quinoa and water or broth into a small pot and bring your water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for fifteen minutes. Once done, stir quinoa and let cool for ten to fifteen minutes.
While quinoa is cooking, get a large bowl and assemble your remaining ingredients. Chop chicken into small bite sized pieces and add to your bowl. Add feta, pistachios, and drained and rinsed chickpeas.
Dice your cucumber and red onion and add them in as well (I use a vegetable chopper to do this). Chop mint and parsley and add to bowl.

For The Dressing

Grab a small mason jar and add all ingredients for dressing in. Shake well.

Notes

Tips For Meal Prepping Jennifer Aniston Salad

The macros on this salad are so good it is a staple in our meal prepping rotation. After the salad is finished but before I top it with dressing I portion it out into these four cup glass bowls with lids from Amazon.

I use this two cup measuring cup to portion them out, and then add the reminder by spoonful until the salad is evenly distributed between your glass bowls.

Top with lids and store in the fridge for up to a week. I use these small plastic containers to portion out salad dressing.

Can I Make Jennifer Aniston Salad Vegan?

Yes! Simply use water not chicken broth to cook your quinoa, and eliminate chicken and feta cheese. You can also sub in avocado.
