Instructions
- Place the Dijon mustard in a small bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix this well with a fork.

- Dip a piece of the lettuce into the dressing to see if the dressing is to your liking. If not, make adjustments now.
- Place the romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add the other vegetables and avocado, then top with the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
