By AuntieGooper

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups light mayonnaise $
• 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimiento, drained
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon finely grated onion $
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 (8-ounce) blocks 2% reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese, finely shredded
• 6 celery ribs, cut into 4-inch pieces
• Garnish: paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together light mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in cheese.
Spread 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each celery rib. Garnish, if desired.

Don't be tempted to use preshredded cheese. It takes a few more minutes to shred your own, but you'll be much more pleased with the creamy texture.
