cheese with celery

This is more of an idea than an exact recipe. It came from wanting to enjoy some cheese without the heaviness of bread or crackers. Theres something just so good about crunching into a stick of celery and even better when it has a bonus piece of rich soft cheese attached. This works best with softer cheese but Ive also tried it successfully with parmesan and manchego.

Wash celery and trim the base to break it into individual ribs. Leave the leaves intact on the inner ribs and discard the darker green leaves of the outer ribs. Place celery on a platter next to the cheese and season with salt & pepper.
