  2. Carefully peel each egg under cold running water and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the nonfat plain Greek yogurt to the chopped eggs and stir gently until fully combined.
  4. Sprinkle in the chopped dill and chives or green onions, followed by garlic powder and onion powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Give the egg salad a final stir to blend all ingredients evenly. Serve on whole-grain bread, in wraps, or with crunchy crackers.
