Ingredients
  

4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 celery stalk, finely diced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced

2 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

4 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Greek yogurt (if using). Mix until well combined.

    Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate all the flavors.

      Fold in the diced celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and fresh dill. Mix gently to avoid mashing the eggs.

        Taste the egg salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

          Carefully rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

            Spoon generous amounts of the egg salad mixture into each lettuce leaf, forming little boats.

              Serve immediately or refrigerate the egg salad for about 30 minutes for a refreshingly chilled treat.
