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.
