Irish Salad Sandwiches

Introduction

Irish Salad Sandwiches are a classic, simple, and elegant snack that has been enjoyed in Irish households for decades. Often called egg and tomato sandwiches or egg and onion sandwiches, they are light, flavorful, and perfect for tea, family gatherings, or casual lunches. The filling combines creamy mashed eggs, fresh tomato, crisp butter lettuce, and green onions, lightly bound with mayonnaise or salad cream. Cut into neat triangles, these sandwiches are as charming as they are delicious.
