What an integrity move, making a whole video to correct such a small piece of information. I have always appreciated the thorough research and detailed information you put in your videos, and this video is just confirmation of your motives and character. You're incredible, Jessica!

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you so much for the kindness and support Sarah, I'm really grateful people appreciate the effort I put into my videos and I want to keep that trust because we're all here to learn together! 💖🙏

[@MCheesesushi]

Just wanted to say the „fake“ friends salad is delicious and I‘ve made it multiple times since I watched your video 😄

[@JessicaVianaa]

Yay! 💕💕

[@yumanik]

Same!

[@JMC725]

Yeah I read that she didn’t eat that during the show but that the “Jen salad” was a more recent recipe she likes. It seems like according to Courteney they all ate a healthier Cobb salad with garbanzo peas and turkey bacon.

[@bonnigans8014]

When I watched the original video I thought “wow that salad is advanced for the 90s” 😂 it seems to me those ingredients are much more common & appreciated now. I agree I prefer the bulgar salad. I probably wouldn’t even try the other one… How funny the internet is! To place such importance on 1 person and a salad 😂

[@JessicaVianaa]

I recorded this last week but took too long to edit so this might be old news already 😬 and I know there's more important problems in the world than a salad lol 😅 but I just wanted to leave this update on the channel for those of you who came from the Friends video, and for viewers that may find my channel in the future through that video. Love you all 💖 xx

[@gatitasalvaje5020]

The original most likely blew up because of the reunion & funny enough I did subscribe after I watched it this year

[@sayeedarahmandrienikova9260]

‘Patient zero of the Jen’s salad epidemic’ made me LOL ..I think you were for sure the catalyst I really enjoyed that video and much like everyone else really craved that salad afterwards. Props to you. Have really enjoyed your content and hey ..that salad too 😉😂

[@JessicaVianaa]

😋💕💕

[@Sophiesmakeupbag]

It's such an interesting story in and of itself! Thank you for making this. I found your content through that video (and am so glad I did - you're great!) and love your approach to the topics you cover. Thank you!

[@JessicaVianaa]

You're so kind thank you so much for joining the channel and sticking around! 😊💖🙏

[@sarahgruner7711]

You’re a wonderful creator ! I look forward to continuing to enjoy your content

[@JessicaVianaa]

You're so sweet, thank you so much! 🙏💖

[@ngaiosbrain]

Thank you so much for handling this so beautifully

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you for the love!

I love you channel!! And I love how dedicated and careful you are with your content. ♥ Really appreciate this video, even if it's about a salad. It shows how humble you are :)

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you so much! 🥰😘😘

[@mansoor3159]

Heyy!! Jessica I really really really adore your vlogs so so so much you inspired me so so so much and I will support you till end💖😭✨🌸

[@lacieGlove]

I respect and appreciate your willingness to correct your videos to make sure they are accurate. Your videos are very accurate and detailed and I really enjoy them

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you so much for the support and love! 🙏💖💖

[@citrinedreaming]

What’s funny for me is that I watched your friends video a couple weeks ago (and loved it) and I thought the salad with the bulgar was just kind of a weird combo, but I can’t stop thinking about it and now I just really want to eat a big bowl of it lol 😂 so if nothing else, thank you for what I’m sure is a good recipe that I definitely need to try (at least once). Also thank you so much for the content you are making! These videos have helped me break down my Hollywood-influenced mental image of what a body “should” look like, and you have helped me appreciate my body and my food in new ways that I am really grateful for 💖

[@JessicaVianaa]

That is so great to read thank you so much 🙏🏻💕 definitely give the salad a try, anything with feta cheese to me it’s a win 😜

[@lesluvlux]

I was one of the people who found your video in January and did make the Jen salad. I enjoyed it very much and will continue to make it… and keep subscribing to your channel

[@JessicaVianaa]

Yay! Thank you so much for sticking around 🥰♥️

[@wuup1278]

Thank you for the clarification ❤

[@solangepolegar]

Thanks for the update, I’ve always loved your approach but I like your ethos even more now :) Regarding your quick boom earlier this year, I got to know your channel through Abbie Sharp, who did a video on *your* friends diet video… I so I always thought it came from there… how it actually came to be, I think we’ll never know :) I actually remember thinking that recipe it was a weirdly modern take in terms of ingredients for a nineties Atkins kind of thing - the egg whites! It all clicked when you said egg whites! Ahah All the love from Lisbon ;)

[@JessicaVianaa]

Hiya Solange! Thanks for the kind comment! Yeah I guess we'll never know, but I'm very thankful for all the people that came to my channel from Abbey's video, her video was uploaded in March and I'm happy it helped the underlying message to reach more people :)

[@khushisharma2166]

The Jen salad was delicious nonetheless, I just made it last week after watching your video!!!! But I’m glad you decided to correct this misinformation even tho the video was released a year ago. Btw your researching skills are >>>>>>

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you so much! 💕💕🙏🏻

[@marieoshaughnessy306]

I love the fake one! Though I swap bulgar with quinoa, add lemon juice(I'm going to play around with sumac when it's in season) and a Lil oil, whatever herbs are in season! Sometimes I change the chickpeas to lentils. So good!

[@JessicaVianaa]

Oh yummyyy!! I’m hungry now 😋

[@atiyamaseeh3435]

Love your videos... thanks

[@DianeShugart]

This is a great series. TV characters have tremendous influence on how we dress, eat, behave etc and your videos highlight this underside to pop culture. That said, I’d love to see a video that also looks at characters’ drinking in relation to food - which European audiences probably notice more as drinking here part of a meal, not decoupled from it.

[@JessicaVianaa]

Thank you for your comment - your suggestion is interesting! Do you mean drinking in relation to alcoholic drinks, or regarding sodas, the big 2L Coke cups, etc.?

[@DianeShugart]

@@JessicaVianaa Alcohol (although sodas are a whole other subject) -- the quantities consumed, and the context, suggest many characters have a drinking problem, yet their behaviour is normalised. And since we're here, I am completely in awe of the amount of research that goes into your videos (not to mention your natural charisma in presenting it). Kudos.

[@jenniferponzuric5087]

I’ve been making a salad based on the first video but I use farro and the parsley cumin chickpeas from Trader Joe’s and it’s amazing! Even my husband loves it and he is not a big fan of “healthy food”

[@goudagirl6095]

The Jennifer Aniston salad is nothing more than **TABOULEH** with a bunch of extra ingredients, something I've been eating myself for decades. Seriously, go buy a box of tabouleh, make it following the directions, and then add chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onion, feta, parsley/cilantro, pistachio's, or whatever you want. I am, in fact, eating some right now! 😀

[@blrfivvuvu]

I did not make it because of Jen, my mother made it for Easter after I told her that the salad seemed amazing, I watched your video and it was such an amazing salad for the holidays, and it was nutritious, it did not feel like a fad salad, it was actually a salad fit for a celebration. I do not follow celebrities and trends, so, even if the salad was not her idea, it was very nice.

[@laurakissthechef4674]

I offer a vegan/vegetarian buddha bowl at the restaurant I work and change it every season. This sum mer it is pretty much the Jen salad but nobody in our small town even sees that 😂

[@JessicaVianaa]

It’s okay, they don’t need to know 🤭

[@lipglass]

aw I was hoping you’d make the new salad

[@cdaffern4707]

The salad looked great though, it looked, fresh, healthy, and moist and tangy with the pistachios and the juice. I'm going to adapt my shopping list soon.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Fyi- pretty sure the salad Jen always ate was a take on the Gotham Salad at Bergdorf Goodman here in NYC. It is a very niche thing. Personally I used to work near the store and meet girlfriends there for lunch just to have that salad. It was delicious. For some silly reason they changed a few things in the recipie so we stopped going.

[@JessicaVianaa]

Oh I'd never heard of it, from the pictures on Google it does look yummy!

[@FacheChanteDeux]

@@JessicaVianaa It is!:) The Thousand Island dressing makes it even better. I have never seen salad so perfectly shredded and minced that way before.

[@igorlutay48]

Can you do mean girls diet? pretty please

[@106andie]

I remember Courteney Cox said it was a Cobb Salad, so afterward they showed this salad I was confused, I do wanna make the impostor salad because it’s seems healthier I just have to use almonds instead of pistachios due to allergy.

[@JessicaVianaa]

"the impostor salad" 😂 haha love it - go for it!!

[@lunalovegood840]

just sitting here, watching this video and eating my Jen Salad :D

[@elizabethkeen7851]

Abby Sharp did the video about it that might’ve been why it blew up

[@Anele8888]

Although this is an old video and maybe you know this already: your video got pushed in the beginning of January because that’s when KZbin assumes we want to see videos regarding diets.

[@beatrizneves304Youtube]

Olá A abbey sharp fez um vídeo em que te mencionou. Veio daí, ela é muito conhecida Beijinhos 🤍

[@laurens7431]

Wow, I was right all along. Never believed it. Too *caloric* for her.

[@klmjtr]

So what is the real recipe then?

[@JessicaVianaa]

I shared in the video... you can also check the link to the original interview article in the description xx

[@soozdoodle5023]

Whoa this title got my attention smh lol

[@atiyamaseeh3435]

But the salad is amazing....

[@wendoxia]

I’m sorry that I’m smugly saying I told you so then… But I love you

[@Teganwinters1]

Yeah I wouldn’t think she would eat a salad for 10 years for lunch and diner lol sounds insane to me

[@PlaceboEllie]

celebrities are weird like that tbh, remember their body is their job
