• FAST

Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2. 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
4. 2 thick-cut bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1/2 -inch strips
5. 1 small shallot, finely chopped
6. 4 ounces frisée, torn into small pieces

1. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderately high heat until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
