- 1 pound red potatoes sliced
- 3 stalks celery diced

Instructions
To Cook the Potatoes
- Fill large stock pot with water and bring to a boil
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and add Stash Lemon and Ginger Tea bags
- Allow to steep 3-5 minutes, then remove and discard tea bags
- Add sliced red potatoes directly to tea infused water and return to a boil
- Once potatoes are done (fork tender), save 1 cup of tea infused cooking water for dressing. Drain potatoes and allow to cool
- Once potatoes are cool, place in a large bowl and add chopped celery and 1/2 of the chopped green onions
- In a food processor, blend parsley, remaining green onions, ginger and garlic until finely chopped but not completely pureed
- Add dijon mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil and puree until blended
- With food processor running, slowly add tea infused cooking water. Continue slowly adding until sauce is emulsified (about 1/4-1/2 cup cooking water typically)
- Taste and season as needed with salt and pepper
- Pour sauce over potato salad and mix well
- Garnish with lemon zest and a little more chopped parsley and enjoy!
