To prepare the dressing, combine the first eight ingredients (from olive oil to sugar) in a processor or using a wire whisk.
Season with pepper and keep in the fridge for 2 hours or more to let the flavors blend.
Put all the remaining ingredients (from romaine lettuce to Kalamata olives) in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to combine.
If desired, keep the salad in the fridge for about 1 hour or let it sit at a room temperature for about 20 minutes. Toss several times during the process.
