    Chickpea, Orange and Celery Salad

    I spent the past few days at my mom's helping out while she had hip replacement surgery. Thankfully, she was discharged yesterday and is doing great! It's amazing how fast you can be on your feet after that kind of procedure.

    There's no doubt I got the fight in me from her.

    Anyway, while there I made some chili and this salad with what I could find in her pantry.

    She had oranges and I, for whatever reason, have gotten out of the habit of buying them. I ate one and immediately fell in love all over again!

    Using them as my inspiration I found this recipe by Martha and decided to run with the idea of an orange-celery salad. My version doesn't really represent the original as I don't like olives and I had to depend on what I could find. Regardless, the result was FANTASTIC! I had to hold myself back from eating the entire batch. The combination of the sweet orange and crunchy celery was simply amazing and the chickpeas added a fabulous, filling meatiness.

    Here's what I did...

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon dried onion
    • 1 teaspoon dried garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 2 navel oranges
    • 2 large celery stalks, chopped
    • 1 15oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

    Instructions

    Whisk the oil, salt, onion, garlic, and parsley together and set aside.

    Supreme the orange. Click here if you don't know what that means -- it's a great tutorial!

    Squeeze the orange "skeleton" over the oil mixture to add any remaining orange juice to the dressing. Whisk it in.

    Toss the chickpeas, orange and celery with the dressing.

    That's it!

    I ate a few bites right away but it was even better after it sat for a bit. I'm totally going to double, even triple this and bring to my next potluck. It's just so fun and different!

    Sorry for the photo quality. I only had my phone at Mom's. On my phone it looked fabulous! On my computer? Not so much.

      Great recipe, made it this morning and had some for lunch. Made two changes; used one chopped up garlic clove and 2 tsp. dried Italian herbs. Loved it. Very refreshing, pretty and had some crunch with the chick peas. Will make again and also try with olives. Thanks for posting.

        Awesome! I'm so glad you liked it. If I could have found mom's fresh garlic I would have used that too. I was actually surprised how goo the dried was though.

      This looks really good and a salad I've never seen before. I do like olives and may add some. Also never heard of Supreme the Orange--going there next.
