Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch celery (2 1/2 pounds)
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or more to taste
5 drops Tabasco or favorite hot sauce, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Separate the celery stalks. Rinse them free of grit, and peel to remove strings if desired. Cut the stalks into 3- to 4-inch pieces, leaving the tender inner stalks whole. Wrap celery sticks in a damp cloth, and chill for 1 hour before serving.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, horseradish, and Tabasco. Season with the salt and pepper. Serve the cream cheese mixture with celery.
