Healthy, because
Quark is a real fitter: the protein it contains builds muscles, and a generous portion of calcium hardens teeth and bones. The salad of radish, radish and onion provides the ideal supplement of other minerals and vitamins, as it strengthens the immune system and stimulates digestion.
Even smarter
The quark buffers - by the way, Bavarians call them "Topfen" cookies - taste as good cold as fresh from the pan and enrich every buffet. Those who find the radish salad too spicy round off the curd taste with tomato sauce.
