Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 9-10 minutes. Cool the eggs under cold running water, peel, and set aside.
Wash all the fresh herbs thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Finely chop the parsley, chives, chervil, borage, sorrel, cress, and dill. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for a finer consistency.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and sour cream until well combined.
Grate the hard-boiled eggs into the yogurt mixture using a fine grater or mash them with a fork until crumbly.
Stir the chopped herbs into the yogurt mixture, ensuring an even distribution of herbs.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and honey to the mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the green sauce chilled with boiled potatoes, eggs, grilled meats, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
