  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 iceberg lettuce large leaves (“cups”)
  • 6 tomato slices
  • 12 cucumber slices

In a mixing bowl, stir together the egg whites, celery, pepper and onion. In a small bowl mix the mayo, mustard, lime juice, lemon juice, dill, salt-free seasoning and pepper. Fold the mayo mixture to the egg white mixture.

Place some of the egg white salad in each lettuce  “cup”. Top each with a tomato, 2 cucumbers; then sprinkle with chives for garnish.
