Healthy, because
One portion of the salad provides about one third of the daily iron requirement; the nuts bring magnesium and vegetable proteins into play.
Even smarter
If you like, you can also serve the vegetable salad and eggs lukewarm. And if there is a piece of wholemeal bread to go with it, the whole thing is particularly filling.
