Ingredients
- 1 cup raw bulgur wheat rinsed and drained
- 1 (14oz/397g) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2-3 small Persian cucumbers (or other salad cucumbers) diced
- ½ small red onion peeled and finely chopped
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ½ cup fresh mint chopped
- ½ cup shelled, roasted pistachios roughly chopped
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Lemon Vinaigrette:
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bulgur wheat according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled bulgur, chickpeas, red onion, cucumber and herbs, pistachios and feta cheese.
- Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a mason jar. Screw the lid onto the jar tightly. Shake the jar vigorously for about 30 seconds, or until all the ingredients are well combined. Open the jar and taste the vinaigrette. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more salt and pepper as needed.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Then, refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
- Serve the salad cold or at room temperature!
Notes
- Make Ahead: This salad is a great option for meal-prepping because it doesn’t get soggy in the fridge. That being said, the pistachios tend to lose their crunchiness after a few days. If that bothers you, you can omit them when making the salad and add them right before serving.
- Storing: The Jennifer Aniston Salad will keep, stored in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 4 days!
