Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boiling point, cover the pan with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl and roughly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add in the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine until you have a creamy mixture.
Finely chop the fresh chives and dill, then add them to the avocado mixture.
Mix in the chopped eggs and finely diced red onion, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
Serve the avocado egg salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
