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
- Bake celery leaves until they are completely dry. Let them dry completely.
- Place the dried leaves in a spice grinder (or use a mortar and pestle) and grind them into a fine powder.
- Add to a small jar with the salt (per recipe below) and shake to combine.
Ways to Use Celery Salt
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.
