    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 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?

    With this recipe, you can make a big batch, inexpensively!

    What do you need?

    For this recipe you will need:

    • whole celery bunches
    • celery seeds
    • salt
    • dehydrator

    I use the Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, White - MADE IN USA for my recipes.

    How to make celery salt

    • Chop bunches of celery into ¼ inch slices.
    • Dehydrate celery slices and leaves according to manufacturer's settings.
    • Grind dehydrated celery, celery seed, and salt in blender or food processor.
    • Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

    Tip:

    Don't throw away the celery leaves. They have lots of flavor. Dehydrate them along with the celery stalks.

    How to dehydrate celery in the oven

    If you don't have a dehydrator, you can dehydrate celery in the oven.

    • Turn oven to the lowest setting, (that is 200 degrees for most ovens).
    • Cut the celery into about ¼ inch slices.
    • Arrange them on a parchment lined baking pan until dry (about 6 to 8 hours.)
    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.

    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.

    Please leave me a comment below if you make this celery salt, and tell me what you think about it. I would love to hear back, and so would my readers.

    Also post your picture of your seasoning on Instagram or Facebook, and tag @aforkstale with #aforkstale hashtags! I will share with my followers! xoxo!

      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 🙂

      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 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!

      Easy to make. I dehydrated in oven and ground by hand. Little elbow work but enjoyable.
      One request, can you include metric measurement conversions in your recipes. Most countries don't follow the Imperial system and its tedious to do the conversions by hand,
