    Can I use celery seed instead of celery in tuna fish salad?
    Community Answer
    I do this all the time, along with onion powder. You get the flavor but not the texture that some object to (like kids).

    Do I have to grind the celery seed to use it?

    No, but if you don't grind it, only use a very small pinch at a time to avoid using too much.
