For 4 servings
Prepare the celery: Separate the stalks from the bunch. Rinse each stalk thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt from the crevices. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the stalks: Using a sharp knife, trim off the tough, white base (about 1 inch) and the leafy tops from each stalk. The tender inner leaves can be saved for salads or garnishes.
Cut into sticks: Cut each trimmed stalk into 2 or 3 equal-length pieces, aiming for sticks that are about 4-5 inches long. For wider stalks, you can also slice them in half lengthwise to create thinner sticks.
Crisp the celery (optional but recommended): Fill a large bowl with 4 cups of cold water and 2 cups of ice cubes. Submerge the celery sticks in the ice water bath for 15-30 minutes. This step makes them exceptionally crisp and crunchy.
Serve: Drain the celery sticks well and pat them dry. Arrange them on a platter, in a glass, or alongside your favorite dips like hummus, peanut butter, or a yogurt-based ranch.
