TikTok is useful. It taught us how to clean our cookie sheets, make no-bake cheesecake, and now — eat like Jennifer Aniston.
If you’re a Friends superfan, you may have already heard the tales of the actress eating the same salad for lunch every, single day they filmed. Courtney Cox has mentioned it in interviews, and through the years, the recipe has changed just a bit. But recently, the recipe went viral on Instagram and TikTok, along with a super easy-to-follow recipe.
Here’s the recipe:
3.5 cups cooked bulgur wheat ( I made 1 cup uncooked )
2-3 chopped mini cucumber
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped mint
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
2 cups chickpeas
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Yes, it’s really this easy. You just dump all of this in a bowl, douse it with olive oil and lemon, mix it up, and enjoy! We had to try it to see if it was really worth eating every day. The verdict? Yes. It’s delicious!
As busy parents, one of the easiest things you can do for self-care is mix up a batch of something that you can easily eat for lunch for a few days. How many times do you get to 5 p.m. and realize you’ve eaten nothing? Yeah, us too. Try it! You can find the bulgar wheat in the organic section of your local supermarket—or where they keep the bagged grains.
