You should start by placing your quinoa and water (or broth of choice) in a small saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Then, you can turn down the heat to low and allow the quinoa to continue simmering until all of the liquid is absorbed. Finally, remove from the heat and let the quinoa rest while you move on to the next step– making the Jennifer Aniston salad dressing.
For the salad dressing, you should combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Then, whisk it together and set aside while you assemble the salad. How simple.
Finally, to assemble the salad, just place your cooked quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, pistachios, fresh herbs, and feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Pro tip: fluff the quinoa with a fork right before adding it to the salad bowl for optimal texture.
Now, the last step is the best step. While giving the salad a gentle toss, you can watch as all of the fresh ingredients blend together before doing a little taste test.
If you feel like the salad could use some more seasoning, don’t hold back. Then, divvy up the meal and serve away! This recipe yields four servings in total. So you can share with your family and friends or meal prep for the work week.
Any way you decide to slice it, though, you will not regret trying out this satisfying salad. Plus, you might even want to munch away while watching one of your favorite Friends episodes in action.
