German Pickled Celery Salad – Sellerie Salat

The German Pickled celery salad is very popular in Germany and you can buy it in every supermarket in the jar from Kühne or Hengstenberg.
This sweet sour celery salad is not that difficult to make. Here’s a very easy recipe fro you. Some other recipes are using the pickled cucumber liquid as well. I think a mix of white wine vinegar and cucumber brine would be good too. Happy Cooking!

Cooking Instructions Pickled Celery Salad
