Does anyone have any ideas for celery besides chicken salad, soup and eating it raw?? I like celery not sure what to do with it.

I agree! Peanut butter or a laughing cow (35 cals) can be really tasty

I chop it up and cook it with zucchini, yellow squash, onion and cauliflower in a little bit of olive oil & fresh ground pepper. I love it raw with a dab of peanut butter - a very small dab of Skippy natural peanut butter. I ate half a package of it for lunch today!

goat cheese

peanut butter... with a sprinkle of chili powder

blue cheese dressing as a dip

make sure you measure (and account for) anything you put ON it, it doesn't erase the calories of the other stuff!

i eat it raw with Laughing Cow cheese wedges - i also cut up the celery with other veggies (peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini) and mix with some shredded reduced fat cheese, grilled chicken, and almond slivers with just a bit of salad dressing. Enjoy a different salad without lettuce...

I like to eat it with salsa instead of chips.

I took inspiration from Ina Garten's Celery & Parmesan salad and dress chopped celery with lemon juice and a touch of olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. I dressed them in the morning and they are still crispy at work for lunch with some lovely sliced heirloom tomatoes.

Celery is quite good for you, I always thought it was full of water. Read the label!!!! I'll have to eat it more often.

Sneaking it into your green salad is an easy way to enjoy it more often.

I either give it to my daughter or leave it in the fridge til it rots. :-)

I chop it up to add moisture to verrry lean hamburger (for patties) I have found that ground eye of round is only 4% fat! But can be on the dry side, so the celery adds the needed moisture!

I like to whoop some *kitten* with celery.

It is great in a stir fry!

It's also very good dipped in hummus! Roasted garlic or red pepper are my favorites.

Celery is a miracle ingredient! I add to the base of many sauces like ragu etc as it's very clever - it releases the flavours of the other ingredients, so even though it melts into the sauce it makes it taste soo much better!

Celery and PB is a good snack if you're eating is raw.
