It's amazing what a few fresh herbs can do to traditional egg salad. While there are many options on which herbs you could use, this recipe incorporates the sweet licorice taste of French tarragon and instead of celery, the use of fresh lovage. The aroma and flavor of this sandwich, topped with lemony sorrel will leave behind memories of any bland lunchbox sandwiches you may have had. Cookbook author and cooking instructor Didi Emmons shares the knowledge on herbs she has acquired over the past 2 hears as she's been developing a cookbook about cooking with herbs.
Note: Eva from Eva's Garden calls lovage the “cell of the symphony” due to its deep, rich, powerful tone. Also great in salads, for use in place of celery and with fish (particularly great with bluefish)
