Salad Ingredients
- 6 – 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce (about a 32 oz bag or 1-2 heads)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup cubed feta cheese
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, halved tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped green bell pepper, pitted Kalamata olives, and cubed feta cheese. Toss gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Alternatively, combine these ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously until the dressing emulsifies.
- Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly. Optionally, serve the dressing on the side for individual preference.
Notes

- Can be served as a side or a light main dish with grilled chicken or shrimp.
- Use fresh herbs like oregano or parsley for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste.
- Keep dressing refrigerated if preparing ahead; toss salad just before serving to maintain crispness.
