This makes a tangy, low-calorie lunch!

1 head romaine or green-leaf lettuce, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
1/4 cup pitted, sliced olives, Kalamata or other oil-cured variety (optional)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

To prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, oregano, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Dry lettuce thoroughly in a salad spinner or with a double layer of paper towels. Place in a large salad bowl. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, olives, and feta. Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat. Divide the salad among serving plates and serve immediately.
