Spring Salad With Dried Cranberries, Pistachios and Olives image

This is what I came up with today. You can use any nut in place of the pistachios, but I found the taste of the raw pistachios very pleasant in this combonation. Also you can use any kind of green leaf salad. For the olives I used green olives stuffed with almonds. Cooking time actually is part of the preparation time because there is no cooking ...
