Ingredients
- Four medium eggs
- Two tablespoons of low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise View the notes
- Two chopped spring onions or green onions
- Half a teaspoon of paprika
- Half a teaspoon of yellow mustard

Directions
- Pour enough cold water into a saucepan to slightly cover the eggs.
- After quickly bringing the water to a boil, turn off the heat.
- After covering the saucepan, let it sit for twelve minutes.
- The eggs should be hard-boiled after 12 minutes in the hot water, at which point they should be carefully taken out.
- Peel after cooling under cold running water.
- Place the chopped eggs and chopped onions in a bowl.
- Put the mustard, paprika, and mayonnaise in a another bowl.
- Add salt and pepper to taste after stirring the mayonnaise mixture into the eggs.

Notes
- For this recipe, I used Hellmann’s Lighter than Light Mayonnaise. For two tablespoons, it comes to one SmartPoint.
- Please be aware that two tablespoons of Hellmann’s Light Mayonnaise equals three SmartPoints, therefore you will need to modify the SmartPoints appropriately.
- You could use two teaspoons of Kraft Fat Free Mayonnaise, which is also effective at 1 SmartPoint.
