Grilled Celery and Blue Cheese Meatless Monday

Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday too. Still trying to get myself back on track after last week’s travel and looking for easy and healthy meals. I am also of the belief that most, if not all, veggies taste better on the grill. I am not sure exactly what inspired this Grilled Celery and Blue Cheese but I do know, it was crazy delicious.

I’ve been out to eat with my family where they pushed over their celery and blue cheese dip to me thinking it was not worth eating. Well, I was always excited to dip into that blue cheese with a vengeance. I love the sharpness of blue cheese and how it gives any salad or dish a huge pop of flavor with a small amount.

Celery does not have to be the boring “diet” veggie anymore! I am giving it new life and new taste with this fun Meatless Monday meal everyone will love.

Since BBQ season is in full swing, it is the perfect time to look for some tasty sides that pair with any main dish. Admittedly, I gobbled up this Grilled Celery and Blue Cheese for lunch this weekend as a salad. Simply, it’s just grilled celery with a handful of blue cheese and a drizzle of spicy Buffalo sauce. I used Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce but any will do. This post contains Amazon affiliate links.

I do love the traditional grilled peppers, zucchini and eggplant but those get rather old after a few weeks of summer grilling. I am looking for new veggies to grill and this Grilled Celery and Blue Cheese has just the right satisfying flavor profile I was looking for.

    OK, we grill a ton, and we grill a ton of vegetables, and I have never thought of grilling celery! What a great idea! We have some celery and blue cheese in the fridge now…I think I know what tonight’s side dish will be!

  7. Sarah says

    I love buffalo flavored foods, especially in the summer. I’ve never grilled celery before, many other veggies and greens but not celery I’ll have to try it!

  9. Chaitali says

    Interesting! I don’t really like celery but I’ve only had it raw. I should try this to see if grilling it makes it more palatable to me 🙂

    In a million years, I wouldn’t have thought to grill celery- but this recipe sounds fantastic! I am a big griller and with that blue cheese and buffalo, it is happening soon!

  11. Kimberly Hatting says

    Ok, this is interesting! I am not a celery gal (unless it’s cut into small pieces in a soup LOL), but grilling it with the seasoning? and the sauce? and the cheese? This might sway me to the other side LOL Very creative!!

  17. Renée @runlaugheatpie says

    hmmm I think I’m going to have to skip this one Deborah!

    I pretty much grill/ roast traditional veg. But If this didn’t have bleu cheese I might actually try it with something else. Hummus maybe?

  18. Kim G says

    Yum!! I had blue cheese recently on a salad and I loved it! I usually use feta but i can see blue cheese making it in more of my dishes moving, including this one!

    I just showed this to my husband for something to try on Big Green Egg. He was definitely intrigued!
