Green Beans with Celery-Salt ButterRoland Bello
Most people keep celery salt around primarily for Bloody Marys, but its grassy brightness also pairs well with green beans, which offer a counterpoint to the rich flavors of this meal. Like all dried seasonings, celery salt loses flavor over time—if you cant remember how long your jar has been in your pantry, pitch it and buy a new one.
