I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.
Cheez wiz, as the name implies its a cheese spread that comes in a jar.
Those are hummus shovels in this house.
Depends on how loosely you define ‘with celery’ - I like celery in soups, especially with chicken-based soups, but that’s not really something you can just grab a stick of celery and dip into or whatever.
ranch
Celery, onion, and carrots are the base to any soup
Also known as mirepoix.
Not any soup, but many European-style soups. I don’t like celery on its own, so that’s what I would do with it: chop it up and freeze it. Use it for soup as needed.
Boil with Ramen noodles, serve with stir fry
I use a good amount along with carrots when I make split pea soup.
It’s also good in chicken salad alongside grapes and chopped almonds.
Blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Use your celery as an ingredient to make other things amazing. Mirepoix would be my first suggestion.
Tangentially related: It’s also great to add to a stock, and if you ever get a grocery store rotisserie chicken, you should consider making stock with it after you’ve cleaned off all the meat you want. Skin, bones (broken bones are even better), celery, onions, carrots… Even onion skins and those celery leaves I mentioned, it can all go in, you just strain everything out after you’re done cooking.
Pretty much any time you cook meat, consider incorporating celery into the ingredient list. It’s a friendly companion.
This is the correct answer. Celery is an ingredient, not something you eat on its own. You CAN eat raw onion chunks, but most don’t. Better as an ingredient.
We always use celery when we make stock for our dogs, as we make their food using fish stock or beef stock. We get super cheap bags of salmon meat (like 5 pounds for $5) at the local farmers market and then use all of that to make stock. We get enough stock to last about 6 months per batch.
I too use stock for making food for my dogs. I’ll also make jello treats, it’s cheap, they love it, it’s really good for them.
Fellow dog lovers unite.
Cream cheese. Hot sauce. Even just salt
A light bit of salt. Buffalo sauce mixed with Bleu cheese or ranch. Put some food dye in a cup and watch it grow up the stalk.
Feta cheese
Any french/ Italian that calls for the three veg onion, carrot, celery (they have a name for it). I use it in my spaghetti sauce.
I can’t think of any Italian dishes that use celery. French tons, but are you sure Italian commonly uses it? What Italian dishes use celery?

You right! I couldn’t narrow it down, so tried to recall from the region. Thanks for the correction!
My favorite ragu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolognese_sauce
Mirepoix! You can also swap the carrot for bell pepper to get the Cajun equivalent
That’s the holy trinity.
I love it with hummus.
My wife says cream cheese and fruit jams/preserves.
