Louis Pappas' Famous Greek Salad

"This recipe is taken from "The Gasparilla Cookbook" and it combines the wonderful flavors of the greek salad served on top of a delicious potato salad. The finishing touches are peeled and cooked shrimp on top with olives, peppers, and green onions arranged around the salad. Great presentation and well worth the effort. You may omit the watercress and anchovies,as well as, change up the veggies any way you wish."
