I wasn't sure what to expect with this recipe. It turned out nice and light with quite a bit of flavor. I think I would have liked the way it looked better if I had cut the celery on the diagonal and maybe added some red bell pepper for color. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I actually remember seeing this on the today show and I'm glad I was able to find it. I made it for my boss' baby shower and everyone enjoyed it (competition was tough everyone I work with has culinary experience so all the food was good.) I added sesame seeds as well to top it off. This such a great and easy appetizer parties.
