1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup diced ripe olives, drained
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
dash pepper

*Johnna’s tip: Quick, easy and to the point. As the weather progressively gets warmer, you are going to spend less and less time in the kitchen. Cold goodies are especially appetizing during this time like these stuffed sweet peppers and they are easier to make than most warm dishes. Make you a nice non-alcoholic cocktail (*can be found on JKGF) and have a delightful little snack hour;-)
