Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Peel and dice the cucumber, then add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and the red bell pepper, and add both to the salad.
Pit and halve the Kalamata olives, then add them to the bowl.
Crumble the dairy-free feta cheese on top of the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad, and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour before serving to let the flavors develop.
