Jennifer Aniston Chopped Salad

This viral Jennifer Aniston salad is supposedly what the star ate every day on the set of ‘Friends’. While I’m not sure about that, I can attest to the absolute deliciousness of this salad and how she could have eaten it nearly every day. Packed with plant based protein including chickpeas and quinoa and full of crunchy and healthy greens, it’s the perfect mid day pick me up or clean dinner option and I always feel so good after I eat it. I always have leftovers which i love to reinvent into this bright and herby quinoa and vegetable soup
