Yeast Free Celery Sticks with Lemon Sunflower Butter
Crisp, cool celery meets a bright, creamy dip that punches way above its weight. The lemon sunflower butter comes together in a single bowl — just sunflower seed butter, fresh lemon juice and zest, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper — and the result is something tangy, nutty, and genuinely addictive. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of yeast, there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out; it just works as written. That matters more than it sounds, since so many store-bought dips and spreads sneak in vinegars, fermented additives, or other yeast-derived ingredients that can catch you off guard. This one keeps things clean without tasting like a compromise. It's the kind of snack you can throw together in minutes and feel good about eating, whether you're following a strict elimination protocol or just craving something fresh and satisfying.
