This is my take on the Jennifer Aniston salad and one I love to meal prep for quick lunches. It’s packed with brown rice, fresh spinach, chickpeas, cucumber, crumbled feta, pistachios, and bacon, tossed in a garlicky herb dressing.
* 1 ½ cups cooked brown rice cooled * 1 cup fresh baby spinach * 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed * 1 cup chopped cucumber * ½ cup crumbled feta cheese * ½ cup chopped pistachios * ¼ cup bacon bits cooked and crumbled
Garlic & Herb Dressing: * ½ cup extra virgin olive oil * ¼ cup white wine vinegar * 1 tablespoon honey * 1 tablespoon minced garlic * 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard * 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves * Salt & pepper to taste
