We had several Members respond to our "Celebrating Celery" article with their favorite recipes for this much under-appreciated vegetable. Thank you so much, we love to hear about how you prepare our good local food!
_____________________
It uses a bit of beef stock, but in the comments section below the recipe, various folks talk about using chicken or vegetable stock.

____________________ The other fav. of mine is Waldorf salad: even amounts of celery and apples (with red peels for eye appeal) chopped about 1/2 inch size or a little bigger, add about 25% of pecans and 10% raisins. Toss with lemon juice (depends on the tartness of the apples) and light mayo or sour cream. Add a little honey if you want it on the slightly sweet side. Let sit in frig for at least an hour. Good for a couple of days. The raisins will plump up, so don't add to many. We love you guys already! Hilde Village Corner ______________________
Member Evan Brennan sent us a Cream of Celery soup suggestion but invited us over to try it and didn't sent the actual recipe (thanks, Evan!!!). While we look forward to enjoying his version soon, here is a link we found to a recipe that comes pretty close to a bowl of Creamy Celery Soup we had when we traveled to France a few years ago, sigh!. . .

Citrus Beet Salad
|
Will was not exactly a Beet lover when we first met almost 20 years ago! In fact he really did not care for them at all. Of course like most folks all he had ever been presented with was the basic canned pickled Beets, he had never had fresh ones. Well, all these years later he is definitely a convert and he loves to make this salad with them!
For dressing lend together:
Juice from 1 Orange
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar (or other light vinegar)
1/3 cup Yogurt or Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Poppy Seeds (we have also used Sesame Seeds and they are terrific!)
salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
Wash, scrub and trim 3-4 Beets. No need to peel unless you must, that's where all the vitamins are! Cut into bite-sized cubes (2 cups for 4 servings) and steam until tender. Allow to cool, then chill.
Wash and chop Beet Greens finely.
Wash and prepare 1 head of Lettuce.
Wash, trim and finely chop 2-3 Green Onions, green and white parts.
Chop into bite-sized chunks or segment 1 Orange.
In a big bowl toss Beet Greens, Lettuce, Green Onions together. Arrange on serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon chilled steamed Beets onto Salad. Mix Orange segments with dressing. Spoon over all of salad and serve immediately.
