Celery Revitalization

Have no fear...you CAN bring soggy celery back from the dead!  This is a tip I wish I would have had known sooner.  Ugh, HATE wasting food!  I can't even tell you how much celery I have probably thrown away unnecessarily.  This little trick came in handy the other night when I wanted to throw some celery into a salad.  It is so disappointing when you go to take celery out of the fridge and it is all soggy and rubbery.  Gross!  All I did was cut about 1/4 inch off the bottom of the celery and stick it in a cup of ice cold water for about a half hour.  When I was ready to slice it up it was just as good as new.  I did a little more research, you can also submerge the whole stalk...I bet that would work faster.  I'll give it a try next time.  Anyway, enjoy bringing your celery back to life!
