Coarsely crush sesame seeds with mortar and pestle or very coarsely grind in spice mill; transfer to a medium bowl. Add ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, ¼ cup finely chopped chives, zest of 1 large lemon, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, and 3 Tbsp. water to bowl; whisk to combine. Finely crumble one .35-oz. package seasoned toasted seaweed snacks over and whisk again to combine. Dressing should be thick but pourable; thin with more water (up to 1 Tbsp.) if needed (makes about 1¼ cups). Do ahead: Dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
