Make It
- Cook quinoa according to package directions.
- Once cooked spread on a prepared cookie sheet and place in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes.
- Check the quinoa and rotate the sheet pan every 10-15 minutes to make sure the browning and drying are happening evenly.
- Once cooked and dry sprinkle with the truffle salt (if using) and let cook.
- This will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks and is great sprinkled on salads and roasted vegetables.
- In a small bowl, using a rubber spatula or a fork, mix together the cream cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper and use this filling to fill the Dandy® Celery Sticks as you would our childhood favorite “Ants on a Log."
- Once you have filled the Dandy® Celery Sticks, and are ready to serve these delicious and simple snack sticks, sprinkle the crispy quinoa over the sticks and serve.
