Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper. Slice it into thin strips and add to the salad.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cube the avocado and add it to the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad for a zesty flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Toss the salad gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for additional flavor melding.
