Celery chopped and dressed as a salad makes a delicious salad and celery lasts so much longer than lettuce. I usually keep celery on hand chop some off the end of the stalk, scald as I always do with fresh celery, dry and top with my favorite dressing. It is nice and crisp and very flavorful.

I read once that celery has negative calories as you burn them chewing.

Celery
has a high water content, as well as sodium.
Not very good alone to my palate. Add apples, walnuts, a few raisins, or blue cheese, and you've got Waldorf.
It has a close relative, Cardoni, which is good grilled brushed with olive oil. Same for Anise.

Negative calories have long been debunked...
AFAIK, chewing one hour burns up something like 10-15 calories, and the digestion of 100g of food is in the 1 cal range. Celery has something like 10-15 cal per 100 gramm. It certanly won't make you gain weight, but the math just dosen't add up...

Should put this in the Foods I Despise Thread, but what I can't stand about celery is way it SHRINKS! I mean, it gets weedy & thin--enough that I can't even make a celery soup with a depleting bunch that leaves nothing but a short, inedible stalk...
But for snacking, it makes a good, healthy snack... I like it with chip-dip or sour cream... Just eat a stick a day...

A delicious salsa
Chop equal parts of celery and onion then lightly dress with Virginia Brand Vidalia Onion Raspberry Vinegrette dressing. The slightly sweet on the salty taco chips is surprisingly good and there's lots to crunch.

Every summer, my favorite salad is fresh farm tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, lots of sliced celery and seeded cucumber dressed with extra virgin olive oil, some good red wine vinegar (no balsamic here) some oregano and salt. Many times as a kid, this with a good loaf of italian bread made a wonderful, light summer supper

Love celery!! It has such a great crunch and flavor raw and there are many wonderful ways to cook celery. I always sprinkle celery seed in my cole slaw and other salads and use it in dressings and some sauces. I love celery anything!

One way we enjoy celery is to cut each stalk into 4 inch long sections and fill the center V with Cream Cheese and then dust with Paprika. Nice little snack.
Celery
Is great in stews, casseroles and pot roasts as well, adds a real depth of flavour to anything that needs slow cooking.

I once made the mistake of making juice of it. Tasted like gasoline. lol
Juicing celery
That came to my mind...
That came to my mind...
I put celery seeds and poppy seeds in coleslaw. I bought plum tomatoes yesterday not only for making the salad Anthony described, but also for making tomato and onion sandwiches on rye bread with mayo. The plum tomatoes are not as watery so you don't have to eat the sandwich over the sink.
When I went to buy the tomatoes yesterday, I was looking over the offerings and my eyes landed on the Romas. My aunt always bought Romas also and I remembered her and meals we shared. Funny how memories are triggered by food.
Speaking of celery juice, I think that was what Mr. Sherman had with his dinner in the health food restaurant in The Seven Year Itch. Jello used to make a celery flavor that mom used to make Tomato Aspic. She put it in these molds with a little dollop of mayo on top.

Celery Juice
tastes better when combined with another juice. Tomato, apple, beet, parsley, etc.
V8 has it in it.

I'm a big celery fan too. I especially like it cooked in things like soups and stews. Whenever I smell freshly cut celery, I think of my mother making turkey stuffing on holidays. It's nice.

Whirlcool we take it one step further....
My dad always made stuffed celery for holiday get togethers. Cream cheese mixed with chopped green olives with pimentos then fill the 4" long celery sticks. Never lasted very long.
