Today, while shopping at Esselunga, I bought some celery sticks and came up with the idea to quickly fill them with gorgonzola, cream cheese, and crumbled walnuts.
A cold and no-cook appetizer, this celery with gorgonzola and walnuts is crunchy and creamy at the same time, ready to serve in just a few minutes.
Perfect for when you want something tasty without spending time: I’m sure it will be a hit with many!

Ingredients
- 4 celery (4/5 celery stalks)

- 8 walnut halves
- 1 tbsp honey (for me acacia or wildflower)

Quick and Tasty Appetizer
I wash and remove the strings from the celery stalks then cut them into pieces of 2/2.5 inches or as you like!
In a bowl, I mix the gorgonzola with the other creamy cheese I chose, making it quite creamy.
I then fill the celery boats using a teaspoon or a piping bag without a nozzle.
I add a coarse chop of walnut halves and some drizzles of honey to enhance the flavor and create a delicious contrast for this quick cold appetizer.
I bring to the table immediately or place in the fridge covered with cling film.
Quicker than quick, haha!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
Variations and Tips
Variations and Tips
You can lightly toast the walnuts in a small pan for a more intense flavor.
Replace gorgonzola with robiola or fresh goat cheese if you prefer a milder flavor.
A sprinkle of chives or chopped parsley will add a fresh and colorful touch.
If any are left over, you can store them in the fridge, covered, for up to 1 day.
