Romaine Lettuce with Red Pepper and Olives

Here's just a simple accompaniment to any meal; I have family in town, so I can't do much more than that tonight! Have the entire salad for one entree-sized lunch if you prefer.

In a bowl, combine 4 cups (1-inch pieces) romaine lettuce, 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup crumbled vegan feta (such as Sunergia), 2 tablespoons chopped and pitted kalamata olives, and 1/4 tsp. dried oregano.

Drizzle 1/4 cup Italian dressing over the salad - I used the Tuscany Italian from Annie's Naturals, which is all vegan. Toss to coat.

1 cup is a side salad of 60 calories.

Cost:
romaine lettuce $3.99
red bell pepper $0.69
red onion $0.27
kalamata olives $5.99
vegan feta $3.69
Italian dressing $3.49
