Arugula and Frisee with Pecorino Romano, Bacon and Toasted Pecans

I made this salad the other night as a main course and ate it with hot, crusty bread. Delicious! Omit bacon and serve as a side dish. I eat only nitrate-free, free range bacon. For this dish, I used bacon from our local farm,For more information, go to: Hemlock Hills Farm. It is the best bacon I have ever eaten!
