Servings: persons

1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 slices white bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed in a bag with a mallet
6 strips center-cut bacon
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the lettuce, onion and tomatoes in a large bowl; set aside.
2
Meanwhile, cut the bread into crouton-size cubes.
3
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
4
Add the bread cubes and toast, tossing, until golden, about 6 minutes.
5
Set aside to cool.
6
Make the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, paprika, lemon zest and crushed pepper in a small bowl.
7
Add the bacon and press to coat on both sides.
8
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place the thyme sprigs on the parchment paper, then lay a strip of bacon on top of each sprig.
9
Bake until the bacon is caramelized and crisp, about 20 minutes.
10
Let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
11
Cut the bacon into bite-size bits using scissors; add to the bowl with the lettuce.
12
Discard the thyme.
13
Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, syrup, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
14
Add the dressing to the salad and toss.
15
(This is enough dressing for the whole salad, but you can use less if you want a less wet salad.)
16
Sprinkle the croutons on top and eat.
