Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into half-moons and add to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them into the mix.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes before adding.
Add the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness and enjoy!
