Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 9-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Add the chopped eggs, celery, green onions, and parsley to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.
