Barley And Lentil Salad With Feta

Barley And Lentil Salad With Feta

 

What a delightful way to get some fiber!

According to the medical experts, you need about 30 grams of fiber each day (women/25 and men/38). This salad meets about half of your daily requirement.

If you hog all the avocado, you get even closer to your daily fiber target. A whole avocado has about 13 grams of fiber. Good news for avocado freaks! (You know who you are.)

And…if you add 100 grams of dark chocolate as your dessert, you’ve pretty much nailed it. Dark chocolate (70% or higher) has 11 grams of fiber.

See, it’s not so hard to get all the fiber you need in your diet. In fact, it can be downright delicious.
