Prepare the salad vegetables. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion, and chop the bell pepper. Shred the carrot. Place all prepared vegetables in a large salad bowl.
Make the vinaigrette dressing. In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously or seal the jar and shake well until the dressing is emulsified and well combined.
Toss and serve the salad. Just before serving, pour about half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing as needed to your preference. Top with croutons and serve immediately.
