There is something so “summer” about this salad! The star of the show is celery, with red onion, garlic, capers, and a simple dressing of olive oil and red wine vinegar, fresh oregano and parsley. I honestly did not know I liked celery this much, but I love this salad! It is unexpected but so delicious, and comes together in just minutes.
