Directions

Step 1

Separate the stalks from the bunch. Wash the celery, then trim the ends off, discarding about 1" of the root end.

Step 2

Cut the stalk into thirds, about 3" pieces long. With each piece, vertically cut 3-4 long thin strips. Rotate the strips 90 degrees, then finish the dice, sliding your knife up and down to cut desired size dice of celery. When you're finished cutting, use a bench scrapper to pick up the diced pieces and place them in your container.
