Celery with cranberry is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the refreshing crunch of celery with the bright tartness of cranberry. Historically, cranberry has been widely used in European and American culinary traditions for its rich flavor and health benefits. In this recipe, it transforms into a fragrant sauce that coats fresh celery stalks, creating a unique harmony of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. Crunchy roasted almonds add textural variety and deep nutty notes. This dish is perfect as a light appetizer or an original side dish that surprises guests with its unusual yet balanced flavor combination.

Cut the celery stalks, arrange them on plates, and pour cranberry sauce over them. Sprinkle halves of roasted almonds on top — for better aroma and crunch, it’s best to roast them shortly before. If they are on the stalks, sprinkle finely chopped celery leaves on top.
