Tips:
- Make sure to wash celery stalks/ribs well. It is also important to pat them dry before filling them.
- Feel free to buy pre-cut celery to make this recipe even easier and faster!
- Super crisp celery is a must for a good celery stick. If your celery has become a little wilted in the refrigerator, simply place it in cold water and add a few ice cubes--it will spring back to life!
