Her recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of celery salt…not 1 tablespoon. If 1 teaspoon is too much then need to adjust….
Found this recipe on pinterest and was SO excited to try it… as I was mixing it up, I wondered, like other commenters, if 1 T of celery salt was a misprint, but did it anyway… Don’t get me wrong, we are celery salt LOVERS in this house… but… Really wishing I had read the comments before making!! I think this recipe would be great if it had a tsp vs tbsp in it… From what I can taste thru the overpowering celery salt attack its the right consistency and creaminess and I will probably attempt it again, just modified.. Thanks for sharing all of your recipes, it can be hard to find ww recipes that aren’t bland and boring!
Is the 1 tbsp for celery salt a misprint?? Made this tonight and wow, it’s very powerful and not very good. I had such high hopes!
No, that’s the correct amount, but you can always make it with a lot less celery salt, if you’d like. Sorry it didn’t turn out so good :(.
I made this, but you should add wayyy less celery salt. It is almost inedible with a full tbsp of the celery salt.
