The REAL Jennifer Aniston Salad
The famous Jennifer Aniston salad that she reportedly ate on the set of Friends every day, had been TikTok viral for a few years now. Ultimately, however, all of those versions were debunked by a Jennifer Aniston interview, where she set the record straight on what was actually in the salad.
The salad requires some prep with the cooking of the chicken breasts and turkey bacon, but after that, it’s super simple to assemble. The dressing is a basic Italian dressing that you should taste and adjust the salt, sweetness or acid if you prefer.
