So, I love my eggs. This has been said many, many times before. No surprise then that when a neighbour suggested the following recipe to me as I bought a big, leafy bunch of celery from the monthly local market, hard boiled eggs immediately came to mind. A lovely condiment to have around.
Celery Salt
(adjust quantities depending on how big a pile of celery leaves you have)
3 cups of celery leave
1/2 cup sea salt flakes (Maldon is perfect)
- Chop the celery leaves roughly and scatter across a baking tray. Bake at 75 oC for 2-3 hours until dried out and crispy.
- Add celery leaves to a blender removing any bits of stalk. The leaves will have shrivelled to approx. one cup. Add half that amount of sea salt and whizz in a blender until combined and fine. At this point you could mix in a couple of teaspoons of ground pepper for a more complete seasoning.
- Store in an airtight container.

What a brilliant idea. I would never have thought of this and I too love eggs. Fab! Thanks for the recipe Wendy 🙂
Get a few rescued ex-batts and you will have the freshest eggs you will ever eat. Contact BHWT or one of the other rescue organisations for details of how to get your own hens. Check out the ex battery hens forum for details of how they will change your life for the better.

What a good idea Wendy. Can imagine this is delicious, particularly over eggs.
love that eggcup!
Mmmmmmmm! looks yummy! I wonder if Lovage salt would work – that’s a thought!

Great idea! Looks so good I love eggs too!
This is fabulous – how long do you reckon it would keep, Wendy?
Neat recipe, defo one for my scrapbook. We had the cheesey leek mash last night with dinner….. I made a pile of it, so we can have it again tonight!
Actually, I’m going to make up a Mornay sauce, chuck in some smoked fish and use the leftover potato/leek mix as a topping for a fish pie… comfort food, it’s the best. x
What a fun photo with the little feet sticking out. I’m on a major boiled egg kick lately, so this is right up my alley.
Thanks for posting this! Something else to do with the celery leaves, normally they end up in stock for soups, but I love celery salt, I’d never thought of making it myself.
brilliant – I don’t like eggs but I hate throwing out celery leaves and I am sure I could find another use for celery salt (let me know other ways you are using it)
Delish! I love eggs and I have never ever considered making my own celery salt! What a fascinating idea – thank you for this post.
What a neat recipe to have! I’ve started my own kitchen garden this year, and have inherited and transplanted a huge celery plant from my 90-year old granny. I expect it to produce lots of celery leaves later this year 😉
I love your pictures. That celery salt sounds and looks sooo good on those eggs. I’m going to make that as soon as I can get to the store for some fresh celery. Yummmm.
Gorgeous.
The house smells quite delicious and I’m loving it with pepper. Now I just need to wait for lunch so I can boil an egg.
Brilliant idea, thank you. XX
I love this idea, sounds like it would be good on so many things!
I can’t believe I always throw the celery leaves away! Looking forward to trying this recipe at home now – awesome
great idea and you could do it with fennel leaves as well for a fennel salt! thanks for the idea.
