Instructions

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together dressing ingredients until well-combined (emulsified).

Rinse the romaine lettuce; dry as much as possible. Chop into bite-sized pieces. If the lettuce still seems wet, spin it in a salad spinner to remove any excess water.

Add the lettuce, onion, tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, and olives to a large salad bowl or mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix. Add the feta and toss again gently.

Add the dressing to the salad immediately before serving; toss until well-coated with dressing.
