Instructions

1. Calculate the amount of celery salt you'll need by examining the amount of celery seed called for in your recipe. Celery salt is between ¼ and ½ celery salt, so you'll need to add extra celery salt to create a similar flavor, depending on the composition of your particular celery salt.

2. Multiply the amount of celery seed called for by ¼ or ½, then measure out that amount in celery salt to use in your recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of celery seed, use 1 ¼ or 1 ½ teaspoons of celery salt. Add that amount of celery salt to your prepared ingredients.

3. Mark or circle any mention of salt in your recipe's ingredients list. Since many recipes that call for celery seeds are soups and spice blends, you'll probably find some salt to eliminate. If your recipe doesn't contain any salt for you to remove, you might find that the results of your substitution are too salty, so proceed with caution.

4. Remove ¾ teaspoons to a ½ teaspoon of salt for every teaspoon of salt called for in your recipe, depending on the amount of salt in your particular brand of celery salt. Check the label for information on how much salt is in each serving.
