Working over bowl and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release orange segments. Whisk orange peel, 2 tablespoons orange juice, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons oil in small bowl. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

Toss greens, orange segments, 60ml favas, and vinaigrette in large bowl.
