Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the eggs by at least an inch.

Bring the water to a full boil.

Gently add the eggs to the pot and start a timer for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, turn off the heat, add a lid, and let it continue to cook for another 7 minutes.

Prepare an ice water bath.

Once the eggs are done cooking, remove them from the pot and place them into the ice water bath for at least 10 minutes.

Gently crack the eggs all the way around and on the bottom, then run them under cold water while peeling.

Chop the eggs with a knife for a chunky texture and add them to a large mixing bowl.

Add chopped green onion, chopped red onion, and finely diced fresh dill to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of avocado mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard to the bowl and mix well.

Add juice from 1 to 2 lemons, sea salt, and pepper to taste, then mix again.
