Apricot-Ricotta Stuffed Celery image

The healthful protein filling can double as a dip for sliced apples. I often make this treat ahead so the kids can help themselves to an after-school snack. -Dorothy Reinhold, Malibu, California

I'm looking for a new appetizer to serve at my next party. This recipe looks like it would be a good option.

This is a great recipe for a healthy snack. The celery is a good source of fiber and the ricotta filling is a good source of protein.

I'm not a fan of celery, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The celery was actually quite tasty with the ricotta filling and apricots.

This recipe is a great idea, but I think the proportions are off. There was way too much filling for the amount of celery.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my celery turned out mushy. I think I cooked it for too long.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it turned out great. I used dried apricots instead of fresh and I added a bit of chopped walnuts to the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of celery, but this recipe changed my mind. The ricotta filling and apricots really balance out the flavor of the celery.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover celery. I had some leftover from a salad and I didn't want it to go to waste.

This was a great recipe! The celery was crunchy and flavorful, the ricotta filling was creamy and tangy, and the apricots added a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.
