Ingredients
- 4 celery stalks (the logs) cut in half for 8 total; each stick should be 3-4 inches long
- 4 green bell pepper crowns (the frogs, caterpillars, etc.) great to use if you have on hand, otherwise use a few more stalks of celery if desired
- 1 cup store bought or homemade hummus the amount might be a little more than you need, but depending on how deep the pepper crowns are, this ensures that you have enough
- 1 cup pretzel rounds (the bumps) sea salt flavor
Instructions
- Wash the stalks and pepper crowns and thoroughly dry. Trim ends off of celery. Cut celery into 3-4 inch sticks. Remove pepper stems from center. Cut pepper crowns in half.
- Using a small spoon, fill each celery and pepper cavity with hummus.
- Place 4-5 pretzel rounds, evenly spaced, on top of the hummus.
- Enjoy immediately, or cover and chill.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Keep refrigerated and remove pretzels before storing.
Notes
Make sure the celery and peppers are completely dry before stuffing them. The hummus sticks better this way.
We like different flavors of hummus, but enjoy the roasted red pepper flavor the best with this.
Place the pretzels on just before serving so they don't get soggy.
