Clean the celery stalks and cut into 3 inch slices. Put into a large bowl with the oil, vinegar and black pepper.
Remove the pits from the olives by hitting them with the bottom of a heavy coffee mug on a chopping board. Cut the olive meat into pieces about the size of the celery.
Add the olives to the celery mixture and allow to marinate for at least an hour or overnight. Serve as a side dish for lunch or as part of an antipasto.
