I don't think there's a cranberry combo made in my kitchen that I didn't enjoy, & now I have another to add to that collection ~ This recipe makes for a VERY, VERY NICE SALAD INDEED! I made only one substitution & that was using pistachios instead of either pecans or walnuts, mainly because they are very good & plentiful right now, & I like them a lot! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the current Think PINK event]
