Recipe View 2 mins Storage: Transfer the homemade celery salt to an airtight shaker or jar. Allow it to sit for a week or two before using to allow the flavors to fully meld. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness.

For a more intense celery flavor, you can use a combination of celery leaves and celery stalks. Just be sure to chop the stalks finely and dry them thoroughly.
Experiment with different types of salt to create your own signature celery salt blend. Sea salt will add a briny note, while Himalayan pink salt will impart a subtle mineral flavor.
If you don't have a microwave, you can dry the celery leaves in a low oven (170°F or 75°C) for about 1-2 hours, or until they are completely dry and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
