Ingredients
- Celery sticks 1 cup
- Light cream cheese 2 tbsp
Method
-
Prepare the celery.
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut the celery into sticks about 3 to 4 inches long for easy handling.
Tip: Make sure to dry the celery well to keep it crisp. -
Portion the cream cheese.
Measure out 2 tablespoons (about 28 grams) of light cream cheese. You can use a spoon or a small kitchen scale for accuracy.
Tip: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it’s too firm, so it’s easier to spread. -
Serve the snack.
Arrange the celery sticks on a plate and place the light cream cheese in a small bowl or directly spread a small amount on each celery stick. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: For an extra touch, sprinkle a little black pepper or fresh herbs on the cream cheese.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, crisp celery for the best crunch.
- If you prefer, soften the cream cheese slightly to make spreading easier.
