Celery and Orange Salad

Every once in awhile I need a change from the traditional green salad. This salad does the trick. With the addition of oranges, olives and garbanzo beans this salad would be happy keeping Greek, Italian of Spanish food company.

Serves 6-8

3 large ornanges
zest of 2 oranges
3 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
1/2 of a small red onion, diced
1 1/2 cups of pitted green olives, chopped
1 14oz can of garbanzo beans,drained and rinsed
1/3 cup chopped fresh italian parsley
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a medium bowl, place the zest of 2 of the oranges. Using a paring knife, peel away the rind of each orange. Working over the bowl, segment out each orange and squeeze the juice from the leftover membrane into the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss.
