Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Rinse the Romaine lettuce thoroughly, pat dry with a paper towel, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
2. Dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado into small cubes, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them all to the bowl with the lettuce.

4. Cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crisp. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then crumble the bacon over the salad.
5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad ingredients.
6. In a separate small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette dressing by combining olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
7. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is well coated with the dressing.
8. Serve the salad immediately or chill for a few minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld together even more.
