Make Celery Curls

Celery curls make a great addition to salads or for garnishing drinks. They are very easy to make.

Steps

  1. Choose the longer stalks of celery. Make sure that the leaves are still intact.
  2. Cut the celery sticks into fine strips right up to just below the leaves.
  3. Place each strip into a large bowl of iced water.
  4. Allow to sit. The sticks will curl up as they sit in the bowl.
  5. Remove and use once curled to your liking. They look great on the side of a glass and as a topping for a salad.



Tips

  • Kids love the shape of curled celery; it's a great way to encourage them to eat celery.
  • Make sure the leaves left are tender and edible. Some of the larger leaves can be too tough to leave on the stalk.

Things You'll Need

  • Large bowl iced water - water with ice cubes added is fine
