An old timey classic, so dam popular in the ’50s….let’s bring it back!
Let’s admit it, celery is a great low-carb snack and the crisp crunch of a celery stalk is very satisfying but it is so bland on its own. I usually make a dip for celery or melt cheese on it, but lately I’ve been loading the celery channel with cream cheese.
This recipe is quick and full of flavour. If you plan to make your celery real fancy and pipe the cream cheese onto the stalks, use a tip with a really big opening as the olive pieces will clog the tip.
