Ingredients
- 8 stalks celery
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green olives, chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the celery under cold water. After cleaning, trim the ends and cut each stalk into lengths of about 3 to 4 inches. Use paper towels to dry the pieces thoroughly.
- In a medium-sized bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the chopped green olives, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the hollow part of each celery piece with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
- Place the filled celery sticks on a serving platter. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up the filling before serving.
- Serve chilled, perhaps with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor if desired.
