What is Celery Salt?

Experiment with mixing in other spices to suit your recipe! Celery salt adds extra layers of flavor to recipes and it doesn’t take much to elevate the flavors of salads, soups, and cocktails!
Ingredients and Variations
Celery – Only the leaves are used because that’s where all that grassy, garden flavor is! In a pinch, celery seeds can be used instead. Simply toast them first in a dry saute pan until fragrant. Let them cool before using them in Step 3. Salt – No need for pricey flaked or pink salt in this recipe! Table-grade salt works fine! Consider flavored salt varieties like lemon salt, smoked salt, or any herb-infused salt if you want to get fancy. There are several brands of low-sodium and no-salt replacements that can be used as a substitute for real salt. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
How to Make Celery Salt
Ways to Use Celery Salt
Make a basic blend using the recipe here and make a fancy blend for specialty dishes like grilled salmon or roasted chicken. A dash of celery salt punches up the flavor of homemade coleslaw, shrimp cocktail sauce, and a classic Bloody Mary. Or just sprinkle it on deviled eggs or a simple sandwich as a finishing touch.
Storing Celery Salt
Store celery salt in a container that’s just the right size. This stops extra air from getting in, which can make the flavor go bad quicker. To prevent moisture and clumps, use small packets that soak up dampness. This way, celery salt will stay good for 6-12 months. Did you make this homemade Celery Salt?
