Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients for the salad. Boil or bake the vegetables in the oven until cooked (about 20 minutes), first wrapping them in foil. Baked vegetables are tastier and have a denser, less watery texture. Boil the eggs for 8–10 minutes after the water starts boiling, then transfer them to cold water. Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet.
