Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rapid boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
Dice the peeled eggs into small chunks and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery, green onions, and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the eggs.
In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the diced eggs and chopped vegetables. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard for your desired flavor.
Cover the egg salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled on bread, in wraps, with crackers, or enjoy on its own. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
