Instructions
 

Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the eggs.

      Squeeze in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

        Mix the ingredients gently until they are well combined, being careful not to mash the eggs too much.

              For a creamier texture, you can add an extra dollop of yogurt or mayonnaise as desired.
