In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until dark brown and very crispy, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon, drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the next 5 ingredients (romaine lettuce through parsnip).
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients (olive oil through salt and pepper), and pour over the salad. Top the salad with the bacon and serve.
