Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Spray sheet of foil with nonstick spray.
Stir sugar, 1 tablespoon oil and, 1 tablespoon vinegar in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until sugar melts and syrup bubbles, about 3 minutes. Mix in pecans. Stir until nuts are toasted and syrup coats nuts evenly, about 7 minutes. Turn nuts out onto prepared foil. Using fork, separate nuts and cool completely. The coating will harden.
Combine spinach, mango and cooled pecans in large bowl.
Whisk remaining 5 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons vinegar in small bowl to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat.

I made this for the last days of Pesach and it was easy (I did the nuts before yom tov) and delicious. Never one to follow a recipe exactly, I used sliced almonds and Romaine lettuce and it got rave reviews.
