Jennifer Aniston's Favourite Salad

Spring is finally here and that calls for more fun, bright and light recipes. This Week At Superette we are taking inspiration from our favourite 90’s icon – Jennifer Anniston, and making her favourite salad. Legend has it that she ate this same salad on the set of Friends for 10 years straight.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups bulgur wheat, cooked (about 1 cup uncooked)
• 1 cup cucumber, chopped (about 1 English cucumber)
• 1/2 cup red onion, diced (about 1 small onion)
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 1 cup feta, crumbled
• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas/garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
• 1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, or regular bacon, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

METHOD

1. In a saucepan, cook the bulgur according to the package directions. Once fully cooked, transfer to a bowl and let cool.
2. In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove, let cool, then roughly chop.
3. Chop, slice, and dice (or julienne if you please) the remaining salad ingredients and arrange them on a cutting board.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper—just as you would for any homemade vinaigrette.
5. Combine the ingredients together in a serving bowl and toss to combine with the dressing. Serve immediately.
