Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the eggs for 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled consistency.
While the eggs cook, finely chop the cilantro, parsley, dill, and green onions. Mince the garlic clove and set all the herbs aside.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This helps make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and dice them into small cubes. Place the diced eggs in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy dressing.
Add the chopped herbs, garlic, and green onions to the mixing bowl with the eggs. Pour the dressing over the top and gently fold everything together to evenly coat the eggs.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving dish and sprinkle paprika on top as an optional garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days in a sealed container. Enjoy as is or with low-carb bread or lettuce wraps.
