Ingredients
- 1 bunch celery
- 1 package cream cheese softened, 8oz/250g package
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Clamato juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp prepared horseradish to taste
- ½ tsp hot sauce to taste
- ½ tsp celery salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
- 2 tbsp finely chopped cooked bacon
- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
Garnish Ideas
- bacon bits
- chopped pickled beans or asparagus tips
- tiny shrimp
- sprinkle celery salt or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Wash and cut celery into sticks. Pat dry well so the filling sticks.
- In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and mayo with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Mix in Clamato juice, Worcestershire, horseradish, hot sauce, celery salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust. This is where you can make it spicier or more tangy.
- Stir in bacon and green onions.
- Spoon or pipe the mixture into each celery stick.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Top with extra bacon bits, celery salt, or other garnishes, as desired.
Notes
- Use a piping bag (or zip-top bag with the corner snipped) to make them look extra pretty for photos.
- Don’t skip the Clamato—it’s what makes it taste like a Caesar and not just a creamy dip.
- If you love a spicy Caesar, bump up the horseradish and hot sauce.
