Ingredients

Romaine lettuce (4 cups, chopped)
Cucumber (1 large, diced)
Tomatoes (2 medium, diced)
Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
Kalamata olives (1/2 cup, pitted)
Feta cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated)
Extra virgin olive oil (1/4 cup)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until emulsified to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly without bruising them.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the salad.
