Learn how to make celery salt from scratch. Homemade celery salt is so much more flavorful and tasty than the store bought version. Use it to spice up dishes, flavor vegetables, or season a Bloody Mary! Yum!
Celery salt is a great way to enhance a dish and give it that extra bit of missing "umpf." In addition to vegetables, soups, and salad dressings, I like to add it to popcorn, cole slaw, homemade cocktail sauce and Bloody Marys. It really gives a big flavor pop!
Celery Salt
My husband hates the texture of fresh celery because of the crunch and thready ribs, but he likes the flavor. Therefore, he enjoys celery salt. So unless I am going to cook down and soften the celery when a recipe requires it, I will often substitute celery salt when cooking for him.
I have found often that celery salt can be a pricey in the stores. I couldn't imagine why? I mean it is just celery and salt... those things are pretty cheap right?

How to make Celery Salt
I had already been getting carried away making homemade mushroom salt and jalapeño salt(my new favorite spice in the kitchen). I thought, why not make homemade celery salt?
It is super easy to make and incredibly flavorful. It tastes like you just cut that celery out of the garden and put it in a jar. I have been giving away my salts to friends and family. They love me for it. I think I will try making garlic salt next... If these homemade salts turned out so good, I can only imagine homemade garlic salt would be a winner also!
Just follow my steps on how to make celery salt. You will need a dehydrator. I use the Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, White - MADE IN USA
for my recipes.
If you make any of my salts, let me know. I would love to hear back from you. Happy eating! xoxo.

I make homemade celery salt but I grow celery in my garden. I dehydrate both the stalks and all the leaves (there are a lot of leaves!). Everybody loves it!

I cannot wait to try the celery salt recipe! Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt (Amazon) tastes like it has a lot of celery seasonings in it as well, and I LOVE that salt mixture, but it is VERY expensive. Thank you for this alternative!

I'm lucky enough to actually have a tin of this salt of yours and I LOVE IT!!! So good in bloody marys and potato salad and deviled eggs and EVERYTHING! My Hubby hates the texture of celery too but he LOVES this salt. Pinning your recipe so I can make it myself when I run out 🙂
