4. Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin until smooth and well-combined.
5. Chop the Ingredients: Roughly chop the boiled eggs and place them in a larger mixing bowl. Then, add the red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
6. Combine: Gently fold the dressing into the egg mixture until everything is coated well.
7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice for added tanginess if desired.
8. Chill: Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Serve: Once chilled, give it a final mix before serving.
10. Garnish (if desired): Serve with sliced avocado on top for an extra layer of richness.
