Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zippy Egg Salad Dip
  1. Begin by placing 6 large eggs into a pot, covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, then cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes. Once cooled, peel and chop the hardboiled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise and ¼ cup of Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Add in 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Season this mix with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring thoroughly.
  3. Gently fold the chopped eggs into the creamy mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix as you want to maintain the texture of the eggs.
  4. Transfer your Zippy Egg Salad Dip to a serving bowl. Top with a sprinkle of fresh chives, paprika, and crispy bacon pieces, if desired. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
