Place the egg whites in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Discard the yolks or save them for another use.
Chop the egg whites into small, bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Dice the celery, red onion, and dill pickles into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the egg whites.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chopped egg whites and vegetables. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or as a standalone salad.
