1. In a bowl combine all dressing ingredients except oil. Whisk in oil gradually until thoroughly combined.

3. In a bowl mix fennel, bell peppers, and onion and pour boiling water over them to cover. Leave in water for 2 minutes, then thoroughly drain and cool. Add garbanzo beans, olives, and feta cheese. Add vinaigrette dressing, tossing to combine. Marinate several hours in the refrigerator.

4. Ring a salad bowl or individual plates with watercress. Arrange antipasto mixture in the center. Sprinkle with reserved fennel leaves, and any other garnish if desired.
