The Jennifer Aniston
“My perfect salad,” Jennifer Aniston said in 2015 of this fiber-rich concoction, which has since gone viral on TikTok. (Despite reports to the contrary, it’s not the same one she ate on the Friends set every day. That one was a “doctored up” Cobb with turkey bacon, she explained in 2022.)
KEY INGREDIENTS: Bulgur, cucumbers, parsley, mint, red onion, garbanzo beans, feta cheese and pistachio nuts

The Tracee Ellis Ross
“I’m known for salads,” says the black-ish actress. “I am the salad maker.” She gets rave reviews for this one. “I love crushing almonds or Brazil nuts over my food. Get some texture, get some crunch, get some protein. Crunch will help any food.”

The Kourtney Kardashian
According to her wellness site, Poosh, the new mom enjoys this dairy and gluten-free salad once a week. (When she’s not eating meat, she skips the chicken.)
