Ingredients
Salt, celery seed.
Celery is a vegetable featured prominently in aromatic blends, notably mirepoix in French cooking, and its derivative, holy trinity in Creole cooking. Its assertive grassy flavor adds a bold herbaceous note to anything it supplements.
Most commercial celery in North America is of a variety called Pascal celery. The plant is grown straight from seed until it matures and is harvested.
Celery Salt is an excellent way to add celery's vegetal flavor in a concentrated form. It's a great addition to any custom seasoned blend for rubs, marinades and broths. Celery seeds are ground and combined with salt to bring out its distinct, sharp flavor.
Celery Salt is one of the seven canonical toppings of Chicago-style hot dogs. It can also be used to rim savory cocktails such as Bloody Marys, Bloody Caesars and Micheladas. Use Celery Salt in recipes where fresh celery's bulk and moisture could be replaced, such as egg dishes, sauces, potato dishes, dips, stuffing, and more.
