How can I keep the salad fresh for a couple days?
Store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers. Add the dressing just before serving to keep the veggies crisp.
Famous Jennifer Aniston Salad
- Cook your bulgur by combining your bulgur with your chicken broth. If you would like, add a pinch of salt. Bring them to a boil. Once you have it boiling, cover with a lid and bring your heat down to low and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, till there is no liquid left. Fluff it with a fork and allow it to completely cool.
- Pack your herbs into your measuring cup as whole leaves. Once it is measured, then chop them finely.
- Do the same with the pistachios. Fill ½ measuring cup and then pour it out and coarsely chop them.
- In a large bowl combine the bludger, chickpeas, red onion, parsley, mint, feta and pistachios.
Dressing Instructions:
- Squeeze the juice from your lemons. It took me 2.5 lemons to make ½ cup of lemon juice.
- Whisk together till all of the ingredients are combined.
- Drizzle the desired amount over the entire salad or keep it and add 1-2 tablespoons at a time to your individual salad.
