1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Directions:
**Replace with 3 egg whites and 2 or 3 full eggs
***I did not have a red onion so I used green onions, raw - delicious
****Healthier version substituted 2 Tbsp. of plain or Greek yogurt  & 1 tbsp. mayo
Place onions in a small microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp. of water. Cover and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, drain water and allow to cool completely.

In a separate dish, stir together the mayo, mustard, lime juice, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Once the onions have cooled, combine them with the chopped egg whites, red pepper and celery. Then add the mayo mixture, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Now devour...
