Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare the salad: Combine onions, tomatoes and romaine lettuce in a salad bowl and let sit.
Step 2
• Prepare the crackers: Fry the bread in a shallow frying pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Let cool.
Step 3
• Prepare the bacon: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and bacon. Place sprigs of fresh thyme on a parchment-lined baking sheet, topping each with a strip of bacon.
  
  Bake the bacon in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until crisp, about 20 minutes, or until caramelized. Remove the pan from the oven, let cool, and discard the thyme. Cut the bacon into strips crosswise and add to the salad.
Step 4
• Prepare the salad dressing: beat the mayonnaise, maple syrup, mustard, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to combine.
Step 5
• Sprinkle the salad with breadcrumbs. Divide into servings.
