Trim the stalk of its leafy top and wide bottom. Using a vegetable peeler, starting at one end, thinly peel oft the stringy outer layer.
The purpose is to remove the outer fibers which are tougher. Be careful not to remove too much.
Finish by the outer corners of the celery stalk.
The peeled stalk will be lighter in color with a smoother surface.
Keep the peeled celery immersed in ice water until needed.
