Jennifer Aniston Hasn’t Tried TikTok’s Jennifer Aniston Salad
"There is no truth to that particular salad."
Friends alumnus, Apple TV+ employee, and pop culture critic Jennifer Aniston has weighed in on The Jennifer Aniston Salad, popularised on TikTok — revealing that she’s actually never tried it.
“There’s no truth to that particular salad,” she clarified to The Cut‘s Chinea Rodriguez, probably eliciting some sort of gasp. It actually reminds me off a salad that I had many years ago that my girl made for me, but it had quinoa. It wasn’t bulgur.” Ah yes, bulgur. I know it well.
The salad in question that has achieved some notoriety on TikTok as the salad Jennifer Aniston ate for lunch on the set of Friends for 10 years, but alas! It was all a lie. It includes chickpeas, bulgur, parsley, mint, red onion, and cucumber — though some culturally astute TikTokers commented that it didn’t sound like a very ’90s salad.
“It was not what I had on Friends,” she clarified. ” That was a chopped salad that was not as exciting as the salad recipe you just read to me. But I’m very excited to actually try that specific one because there’s stuff in there I’ve never actually tried.” There’s no need to pretend, Jennifer Aniston. There’s nothing exciting about this salad.
“Now I’m gonna do a TikTok and break it to people,” Aniston added. “I’ll create my own. I should really start my own and say, “This is what the real deal is.”
Actor also went through her morning routine, which, as you can imagine, includes meditation. “Wake up, meditation, walk the dogs, feed the dogs, make coffee, a workout, and then usually slide right into the day,” she said when asked about her ‘self-care routine’.
“Sometimes I have guided meditations. I have an app or I have a couple of apps that I love because sometimes I do want a guided meditation, but I also have a mantra that I received about 11 years ago. I do that as well, though usually with music. Sometimes I just completely sit in the quiet outside and listen to the birds.”
