- Place the 3 cups of potato salad in a mound in the center of the lettuce. Cover with the remaining shredded lettuce, mounding it up high.
- Arrange the watercress on top.
- Place the tomato wedges around the bottom outer edge of the lettuce. Place the cucumber fingers in-between the tomatoes standing upright on the lettuce. Put avocado around the same way so you have tomato, cucumber, avocado repeating all round.
- Place the 4 fetas around the top in a circle. Add the beets on the feta and the shrimp on the beet. Place the anchovy on top of the shrimp/beet/feta.
- Place the olives, peppers, green onions as desired.
- This is a beautiful dish.
- You will see the empty spots to fill.
- Dressing 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup vegetable oil oregano Blend the two oils.
- Sprinkle the entire salad with the vinegar then with the blended oils.
- Sprinkle oregano all over.
- Serve immediately.
- If you want to make it early in the day, wait until serving time to do the feta, beet, shrimp, anchovy.
- The beet will stain the cheese. We find it hard to destroy this work of art until we remember how wonderful it is!! Serve with toasted garlic bread for a meal.
