description Celery Salt Overview

Celery salt is a blended seasoning made from salt and ground celery seed, although some formulations use dried celery material or celery-seed extract. It contributes saltiness together with the herbal, slightly bitter flavor associated with celery seed. In the United States it is a standard component of the Chicago-style hot dog and is also used in salads, soups, vegetable dishes, and savory drinks.

help Celery Salt FAQ

What is celery salt made from?

The classic blend combines salt with ground celery seed. Some commercial versions instead use dried celery material or celery-seed extract.

How does celery salt taste?

It adds saltiness along with the herbal, slightly bitter flavor associated with celery seed. It is therefore more aromatic than ordinary table salt.

Where is celery salt traditionally used?

It is a familiar finishing seasoning on a Chicago-style hot dog and is also used in drinks such as the Bloody Mary and Caesar. It can add a celery note to salads, slaws, and savory sauces.

Can celery seed replace celery salt?

Celery seed can replace the celery flavor, but it does not provide the salt in the blend. If you substitute it, the dish will need its salt adjusted separately.
