Celery salt isn’t a spice most folks use often, but when you need it, it needs it. Let me show you just how easy it is to make from scratch with just 2 simple ingredients!
Make Celery Salt From Scratch
I don’t know about you but I’m not selling a body part to afford to buy a bottle of celery salt. Granted, as a chef, I use it more often than the regular home user, but why buy it when you can make it way cheaper?
All you need are a couple of ingredients, a food spice grinder, and a couple of minutes! Let me show you just how easy it is to make!
Celery Salt Recipe Ingredients
So this recipe is technically only 2 ingredients but I include a third as that’s needed for storage
- Table Salt – regular old iodized salt works
- Celery Seeds
- Plain uncooked white rice
How To Make Celery Salt
This couldn’t be any easier. Buy a small coffee grinder (do not use the grinder you have for coffee — trust me, no one wants turmeric in their coffee!) Just buy a small one and keep it for your spices. I have this one from Cuisinart. It’s nothing fancy, but it works awesome for my spices.
- Grind the celery seeds as finely as possible. Place in an electric spice grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Place the salt into the grinder and process for 10 seconds to mix.
- Place the uncooked rice in the bottom of a glass jar. The rice will absorb any moisture and prevent the celery salt from clumping.
- Pour the spice mixture on top.
- Cover and store in a dry, dark place.
In under a minute, you can have homemade celery salt and not have to spend a small fortune on a teensy bottle!
How to store Homemade Celery Salt
If you’re using it right away, you can skip putting in the white rice. If not, I recommend you put them in glass spice jars that have a shaker plastic lid and screw-on cap.
Like all spices, store in a dry, dark area away from UV light.
