This was AWESOME. I found a bunch of recipes for salads with the two main ingredients but alot of them called for mandarin oranges (yuck) so I'll say that this is very loosely based on a Betty Crocker recipe, but I changed so many things I'm dubbing it an original.
Also, call me crazy- but sauteed crushed walnuts kind of simulate bacon, no joke.

Spicy Walnut Topping
1 C coarsely chopped walnuts
2 T vegetable oil
1/4 C crushed red pepper flakes
Heat oil in a skillet and toss walnuts with red pepper flakes until coated & heated, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Salad
1 head fresh broccoli, cut into pieces
1 mango, peeled and sliced into cubes
1/2 red onion, chopped
In a bowl, combine ingredients. Toss with dressing and serve immediately, topped with spicy walnut pieces. I made this in the early afternoon and tossed it into the fridge for a few hours so I made the walnuts last minute & added them right before serving.
Dressing
1/4 C plain yogurt
3/4 C low fat mayo-type salad dressing (you know the stuff)
3 T apple cider vinegar
splash of orange juice
1/8 t salt
Mix all ingredients together & pour overtop salad. Seriously- so good & healthy to boot!
