Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter (or any nut-free spread of choice, e.g., soy butter or coconut butter)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Trim the ends off the celery stalks and cut each stalk into 3- to 4-inch pieces. This will make them easy to handle and serve.
Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread a generous layer of sunflower seed butter down the concave side of each celery piece. Make sure the butter fills the groove completely.
Press a few raisins into the seed butter on each celery piece, spacing them out evenly to resemble 'ants on a log.'
Arrange the prepared celery logs on a serving plate. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day to keep them fresh.
