Fry bacon in a small skillet until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towel.

Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast in a 350?F oven. Keeping a close watch so they do not burn, about 4-6 minutes. Remove from oven and put pecans on a plate. Once cooled enough to handle, roughly chop.

Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces and put in a bowl. Add mandarin oranges, golden raisins, scallions and pecans. Toss with Champagne Pear Vinaigrette and garnish with bacon.
