KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS GREEK SALAD

Be prepared for the best Greek salad on the planet! --- plan ahead the dressing needs at least 2 or more hours to blend the flavors, I sometimes add in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the dressing for a more cheesy dressing, all amounts may be adjusted to taste ---- to marinade the salad allow to sit at room temperature before serving, see bottom of instructions --- you will find this and many more of my recipes posted here http://kittencalskitchen.com/2009/04/13/kittens-famous-greek-salad/ ---also see my recipe #359292

Steps:

Line a large platter with outside lettuce leaves. Place 3 cups of the potato salad in a mound in the center of the platter. Cover with the remaining lettuce which has been shredded.
Arrange the watercress on top of this.
Place the tomato wedges around the outer edge of the salad with a few on the top, and place the cucumber wedges in between the tomatoes, making a solid base of the salad.
Place the avocado slices around the outside.
Place crumbled feta on top of the salad, with the green papper slices over all.
On the very top, place the sliced beets with a shrimp on each beet slice and an anchovy fillet on top of the shrimp.
The olives, peppers and green onions can be arranged as desired.
The entire salad is then sprinkled with the vinegar and then with the oil.
Sprinkle the oregano over all and serve at once. Serve with toasted garlic bread.

1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup salad dressing

GREEK SALAD

While diner-style Greek salads made with chopped romaine, crumbled feta and often grilled chicken have become ubiquitous in American restaurants, a traditional Greek salad, or horiatiki salata, is a simpler affair. An assembled salad of large-diced vegetables with Kalamata olives and sometimes capers, this salad has no greens at all, and the feta is served sliced on top of the salad rather than crumbled and tossed into it. A traditional Greek salad is dressed lightly with olive oil and red wine vinegar; this recipe adds garlic and oregano. To make the salad into a satisfying vegetarian main course, throw in a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas.
