Equipment

  • Dehydrator or lined cookie sheets and an oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Airtight Storage Container

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sea salt We use Redmond Real Salt. Use that link to automatically get 15% off your order!
  • 2 cups dried celery leaves

Instructions

  • Measure sea salt into a mixing bowl.
  • Crumble leaves into a bowl with salt. Alternatively, you can grind the celery leaves and salt together in a coffee grinder or spice blender. Pick out some of the “stemmier” parts if needed.
  • Store in an airtight container or spice bottle.

Notes

  • If you're starting with fresh celery leaves, be sure to dehydrate them first:
    • Dehydrator – Place two cups of celery leaves (with no stems) on your dehydrator tray for two to three hours until crispy to the touch (this is our favorite food dehydrator).
    • Oven – If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can dry herbs using an oven. Set oven to the lowest temperature (usually between 180-200 degrees F). Place celery leaves on a cookie sheet and stir every five minutes to ensure no browning or burning occurs. When the leaves are crispy to the touch and crumble easily, cool on the counter for a few minutes before proceeding.
  • Celery salt will have its best flavor in the first three months, so only make enough to last about that long.
  • You can use this same method to make lemon salt. Simply use dehydrated lemon zest in place of the celery leaves in this recipe. You can also grab my recipe for homemade garlic salt here!
