Ingredients for Homemade Celery Salt

  • Ground Celery Seed
  • Kosher Salt

How to Make Homemade Celery Salt

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon celery seed and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (or kosher salt).
  2. Sift the mixture together to remove any clumps.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, mini food chopper, or spice grinder.
  4. Pulse until the celery seed is finely ground and evenly mixed with the salt. Do not over-process; you want a slightly textured result.
  5. Transfer the homemade celery salt to an airtight container or spice jar. Store in a cool, dark place.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
