Ingredients You’ll Need

For the full list of ingredients and instructions, please scroll down to the recipe card below.

• Celery: We’ll stuff celery sticks with two kinds of soft cheese.
• Carrots: I love the multi-colored kind for this platter.
• Edamame: To garnish.
• Pomegranate Seeds: For garnish and a great way to insert a pop of tangy flavor.
• Watermelon Radish: For it’s fantastic color.
• Cream Cheese: For its creamy texture.
• Boursin Cheese: Usually found near the cream cheese, this herb-y deliciousness is widely available and great for stuffing in celery.
• Hummus: A great option for extra dipping.

Step-By Step Instructions

1. Wash, peel, rewash and dry the carrots. Slice them in half length-wise, and if they’re thick, slice them in half again to make four pieces.
2. Cut six long celery stalks off, wash and dry them. Cut them in half or smaller pieces to fit the size of your serving platter.

3. Place a small bowl of hummus in the center of your platter, garnished with a little olive oil and a few edamame if you’d like.

4. Fill half the celery with softened cream cheese, the other half with the Boursin cheese Dot the celery with pomegranate seeds or edamame as desired.

5. Add the celery to the platter in a starburst type pattern, arranging it decoratively with cut carrots. It’s ready to serve!

Tips and Possible Variations

• This recipe calls for six long celery spears cut in half to make 12 pieces, but make as many as you’d like.
• The amounts listed are approximate, depending on the size of your celery.
