STARTER:    Egg Salad Sandwich with Tomato, Chives & Parsley

The egg salad sandwich likely originated in late 19th–early 20th century Europe and the U.S., when chopped boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise became popular. It spread quickly as a cheap, protein-rich lunch, especially in American delis and lunchboxes. Your version with tomato, chives, and parsley is a fresh modern twist.
