Luscious Greek Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dressing
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    salt
    pepper
    Salad
    1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
    1/2 red bell pepper, sliced, then cut slices into 3 pieces
    1/3 cucumber, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
    3 green onions or 1/4 red onion, sliced
    1 medium tomatoes, cut in wedges then cut wedges in half
    1/2 large avocado, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
    1/3 - 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Preparation
    Place the Dijon mustard in a small bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix this well with a fork.
    Slowly pour in the olive oil while you keep mixing briskly with the fork. (You want to achieve a little emulsification.) Then add salt and pepper to taste. Be a little stingy with the salt as you are going add lots of salty feta cheese and Kalamata olives to the salad.
    Dip a piece of the lettuce into the dressing to see if the dressing is to your liking. If not, make adjustments now.
    Place the romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add the other vegetables and avocado, then top with the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
    Pour the dressing on top and lightly toss the salad.
