Eggless Celery Sticks with Lemon Sunflower Butter
Crisp, cool celery meets a bright, creamy dip that's genuinely hard to stop eating. The lemon sunflower butter comes together in one bowl — just sunflower seed butter, fresh lemon juice and zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper stirred until silky smooth. It's the kind of snack that feels a little fancy but takes almost no effort to pull off. Since every ingredient here is naturally free of eggs, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — just mix, dip, and enjoy. The lemon zest is the secret weapon, cutting through the richness of the sunflower seed butter and giving the whole thing a fresh, almost citrusy lift. A splash of water can loosen the dip to your preferred consistency, so it works equally well for dunking or spreading straight onto the stalk. Whether you're snacking solo or setting out a platter for guests, this one disappears fast.
