My neighbor gave me a HUGE bagful of celery, cut up into maybe 5" slices. Besides "ants on a log", which is the only thing I can thing of off-hand, what kind of simple things can I do with all this celery? Any ideas??

I assume I can't freeze it...or can I? I'm not sure it would thaw so well...

Freezing Celery

around our house, it's ONLY or stews,, so freezing would work perfectly for us

put it in some water with food coloring and let the kids watch the colors go up the stems?

celery w/ cream cheese
celery w/ PB
veggie dip tray
braised celery (yes, you can cook it)

If you have plenty of time on your hands and enjoy chopping a million things, you can make a waldorf salad (apples, celery, walnuts, raisins).

I love diced celery in stews, pasta salads, tuna salad, potato salad.......

I also use it in homemade stuffing.

You can mince some in potato salad also.

Personally, I'd dehydrate it.

But then, I dehydrate everything..

I like all of the things Calimari suggested. I also like it in gumbo (chicken or shrimp) and pasta salad. I eat it with pb or cream cheese all the time. I haven't had waldorf salad in a long time but I really like that too. Also, if you keep it in a tupperware with ice water it will stay crisp longer.

Hey, great suggestions, ladies! Thank you all!

(It goes to show I have absolutely no imagination whatsoever where celery is concerned)
