Growing Celery? Make Celery Salt

If you're growing your own celery, you likely have far more leaves than you're used to, as they trim most of them off the celery you buy at the grocery store it seems.  You can dry them and then add to soups and stews and such (or chop and freeze if you'd rather). I often have a small collection of celery tops, onions skins and carrot ends that I then use to make chicken broth.

You can also make your own celery salt by drying the leaves, crumbling them and then mixing equal parts dried celery leaves with salt.  I just made some tonight, having been inspired by 101 Cookbooks blog on making your own celery salt.
