Celery rice
I tried this as an experiment because I had some spare sticks of celery that I had no use for. It was rather nice chilled. I wouldn't buy celery especially to make this, but if you have some left over, it's better than throwing it out.

Chef's note
Oddly, celery freezes rather well, so next time you have some spare, chop it up and freeze it.
