Black Kale Salad with White Beans
Due to vitamin C and phytochemicals, goji berries have an antioxidant, mood-lifting effect and firm the skin. The abundant fiber in the salad stimulates digestion. Oils, sesame and tahini score with cell-protecting vitamin E and healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids.
If you can't get black cabbage or if the season is already over, the salad also tastes very good with baby spinach. However, you should not let it stand too long, as it quickly becomes wilted.

Meanwhile, rinse quinoa with water and cook in 2.5 times the amount of salted water for about 15 minutes over low heat until al dente.
Meanwhile, rinse beans in a colander and drain. Coarsely chop walnuts and toast with sesame seeds in a hot pan without fat over medium heat for 3 minutes; then set aside. Peel cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and cut into thin slices. Remove pomegranate seeds from fruit.
