and put it on any chicken stri fry I make. I like to put raw chopped green onions and celery on when I serve the hot dish. It adds a bit of crunch and color. I even add raw sliced red radishes if I have them.

If I'm done cooking with celery and I have any left, I wash it, pat it dry, chop it and freeze it in baggies. It is still good for soups, stew and dressing or stuffing.

My family has always liked celery stuffed with cream cheese, or blue cheese dip, served on the relish tray.
