Ingredients
| 1 cup / 250 g | Naturegg Simply Egg Whites, well shaken |
| 2 tbsp / 30 ml | light mayonnaise |
| 1 tbsp / 15 ml | lemon juice |
| 2 tsp / 10 ml | Dijon mustard |
| 1/2 tsp / 2 ml | finely grated lemon zest |
| 1 | small, ripe avocado, finely chopped |
| 2 tbsp / 30 ml | chopped fresh dill (approx.) |
| 4 | thin slices, pumpernickel bread, toasted |
| 3 | radishes, very thinly sliced |
| 3/4 cup / 175 ml | very thinly sliced cucumber |
| 1/2 cup / 125 ml | alfalfa sprouts (optional) |
| Freshly ground black pepper |
Directions
Lightly coat a glass pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in the egg whites and microwave, on High, for 4 to 5 minutes or until egg whites are set. Cool completely and chop finely.
Toss the chopped egg whites with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard and lemon zest. Stir in the avocado and dill. Chill for at least 30 minutes or store, in an airtight container, for up to 1 day.
Spread an even layer of the egg salad onto each piece of toasted bread. Garnish with radish, cucumber and sprouts (if using). Season with pepper to taste.
Tips
For a zesty flavour addition, spread 1 tbsp (15 mL) light, chive-flavoured whipped cream cheese on each slice of pumpernickel before topping with the egg salad mixture.

When whipping eggs, start with a low speed and then gradually work up to the whip setting on the mixer. The lower speed stretches the protein molecules and makes the mixture more readily accept air.
