On large platter, place whole lettuce leaves, with watercress. Place potato salad on top of greens. Alternate tomato wedges and cucumber fingers around outside of platter; circle with avocado slices. Atop the salad, arrange the slices of Feta cheese, green pepper slices, olives, beets, and green onions. Finally, top salad with shrimp, anchovy filets and radish roses. Sprinkle with vinegar and blended oil, then with oregano. Serve at once with garlic toasted Greek bread. Serves four.
