Begin by washing and drying all the vegetables thoroughly.
Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Add to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and cut it into thin strips. Add to the salad.
Peel and grate the carrot and add it on top of the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and scatter the slices over the vegetables in the bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives, ensuring they're pitted.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure even coating.
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish.
