Things to do with celery?

I use celery as part of the base of almost every stew/casserole I make. Onion, celery, carrots sweated together until golden, add garlic, and then everything else (e.g. for vegie bolognese I use lentils, tinned tomatoes, and various vegies). Same for soups (e.g. minestrone).
You don't taste the celelry in that case, it just becomes part of overall flavour impression. It you really don't like it, my mum would always run it through a shredder/food processor before putting it into stews, even less distinct.
I would recommend this!0 -

I love celery...I slice it super thin and mix it with a diced apple, diced chicken breasts and some light mayo for a low cal lunch salad.
It's a great addition to soups, stews, stir fry's...0 -

LOVE celery! Just a couple of ideas:
-stir fry
-chicken subgum-type chow mein
-veggie stock, veggie soup, chicken soup (with onions, garlic, carrots, parsley, rosemary, etc.)
-chicken salad (chicken, grapes or apples, green onions, mayo, curry, etc...I like to serve it over spinach)
-Cajun food...look up "Cajun holy trinity"...you could make Cajun shrimp, gumbo, jambalaya
-any French dish with a mirepoix base0 -
Why did you buy it if you don't like it?
The only way I can eat it is "ants-on-a-log" style. Peanut butter and raisins, yum!
Because I havn't bought it in such a long time I forgot I didnt like it XD Also it was dirt cheap- and I was in a "buy ALL the healthy foods" kind of mood.0 -
I put a bit in my acorn squash soup last night and a tad in my stuffed pepper mix.0

This Braised Celery with Onion and Pancetta looks so good. I'm totally going to make that since my sister in law left a bunch of celery in my fridge after making potato salad.0

I like it with hummus or pb. Also very good in soups and stir fry. I use it in any type of non-leafy salad (chicken salad, egg salad, etc.) because it adds a nice crunch.0

Chop it up and cook it in a stew, soup, stir fry or chili and it has almost no flavor of its own.0

You can throw it in soup, stir fry, or tuna salad!0

Any type of soup, scramble eggs and also love it in my tuna salad0

Let it sit in the fridge for a few weeks until it starts to turn, then deposit in composter. At least that's what usually happens here.0

I save the middle leaves for soup or stew. If that is where they are going, you can freeze them.
Sliced thin and added to a Greek salad or coleslaw.
Julienned with carrots and/or yams, sugar peas and bell peppers for a stir fry.
