# How to Make It:

01 - Place the eggs in a saucepan and add cold water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
02 - Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 9–10 minutes for firm yolks.
03 - Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for several minutes, then peel and cut each egg in half.
04 - While the eggs cook, wash and prepare the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, and bell pepper, arranging them attractively on a serving plate.
05 - In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir until smooth and adjust seasoning.
06 - Place the yogurt dip in a small bowl or dollop on the plate, arrange the halved eggs alongside the vegetables, and sprinkle smoked paprika over the eggs if using.
07 - Scatter roasted chickpeas or seeds to one side for extra texture if desired.
08 - Serve the plate at once to preserve crispness of the vegetables and the cool creaminess of the dip.
