Jenn Aniston Salad with Couscous: The Jenn Aniston Salad but better. One of the coolest things to have happened to me on social media this year is to have started a trend with my original Jennifer Aniston salad video which has now made it all over the world, TikTok, the New York post and so many other articles too. I want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who shared it, made it, and to all my fellow creators that tagged me in their amazing creations and versions. It has made my heart extremely happy to see all of the different versions out there but I truly think that this couscous recipe is the best by far. I absolutely love couscous in any dish and it pairs so perfectly in this recipe.
