Huntington CSA **2025 Season** Special Celery Listing

 Greetings!

 Here’s the link to ALL the: Veggie Info Sheets

Last week since the farm swapped out Scallions for Celery last Thursday morning (but it seems like we’re getting Scallions this week…YAY!).

Still got some Celery in the fridge?

 I do, but it’ll be gone soon enough after trying some of these ideas…

 If stored properly, it should be fine but even if it’s gone floppy, it’s still good to use for soups, stocks, etc. (as long as it’s not moldy it’s still worth cooking with).

 How to best store Celery and how to use and REVIVE limp Celery…

 Did you take a look at our CSA cookbook (From Asparagus to Zucchini) under Celery?

 If not, check out the “Cooking Tips” for the EASIEST Celery Salad (also, Celery added to any stir-fry or the Chow Mein recipe in the same cookbook look tasty too).

 I can even recite it it’s so easy…

 Celery cut in ½” long pieces

Feta Cheese

Black Olives

Tuna Fish in chunks (canned or cooked fresh)

Lemon Vinaigrette*

Fresh Mint or Basil

 

  1. Toss everything in a bowl and eat (maybe serve with some nice crusty, rustic bread, or over Rice…or not 😊)

Now how easy and tasty was that?

 

And of course you can make any number of substitutions (Green Olives instead of Black, some other kind of cheese, etc.)
