Celery and Blue Cheese Toasts - Substantial Nibbles to have with Drinks

Celery goes so well with Blue Cheese
So let’s take advantage of this pairing, to make some little delights to have with drinks
So so simple…I got the idea from The New York Times Cooking Web site
and of course as usual have adapted it to my taste buds

Generally most people have the ingredients in the fridge or pantry
Their recipe called for buttered toast
Cover with a slice of Blue Cheese and top with a celery salad
If you use Castello Blue Cheese, as I did, I don't think there is any need for butter
It is quite a mild, creamy blue cheese,
That's enough
Ingredients I haven't put quantities, I think you can work that out

Bread for Toasting
Castello Blue Cheese mashed for spreading
Celery Stalks
Spring onions

French Dressing
Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Then just finely slice a stalk of celery
Plus a spring onion finely sliced
Sprinkle with Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black pepper
a tablespoon of French Dressing
Don't dress the salad till you are nearly ready
Want the vegetables to remain crisp
I used Vogel’s Bread… the thin sliced

Toast the bread and let cool in a toast rack so that it stays crisp
Or lean it up against something while it cools, to let the steam out
When you are ready to serve
Spread the toast with a thick layer of blue cheese
Spoon over the Celery Salad
Cut into portions
And watch them disappear
