Arugula Salad With Oranges, Feta, and Sugared Pistachios image

To save assembly time, make the pistachios ahead of time and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or you could use an equal amount of chopped toasted pistachios. Cook's Illustrated had this recipe in their Nov/Dec 2006 edition.
