    Olive Garden Salad Dressing

    Have you tried Olive Garden's signature Italian salad? Those big bowls piled with yummy salad vegetables and that signature dressing. The salad at Olive Garden is what attracts me to have dinner there many times. Ofcourse, not to forget the awesome Minestrone Soup and their warm Garlic Breadsticks! 

    Few days ago I was shopping at Walmart and happened to see that Olive Garden actually sells the dressing in bottles!! I had made this salad along with the Minestrone Soup and Garlic Breadsticks a few days ago and my dressing was pretty close to the ingredients mentioned on the bottle 🙂 We loved having the salad and it felt like Olive Garden at home!

    If you want to make the salad for dinner, I would suggest that you whip up the dressing i the afternoon and refrigerate it till ready to use. The flavors become bold when the dressing rests for a while. When ready to eat, make fresh breadcrumbs, cut the vegetables and enjoy a yummy bowl of salad just like the restaurant!! Not very complex yet amazing flavors.

    Ingredients


    For the Dressing


    White Vinegar ¼ cup

    Olive Oil ¼ cup

    Mayonnaise 1 tbsp

    Garlic Powder 1 tsp

    Italian Seasoning 1 tbsp

    Sugar ½ tsp

    Dry Parmesan powder 1 tsp

    Lemon Juice 1 tsp

    Pepper and salt to taste 

    For the Salad


    Iceberg Lettuce ½ head

    Cherry or Regular Tomatoes 2-3

    Pink Onion 1

    Carrot 1

    Cucumber ½

    Black Olives ¼ cup

    Bread croutons

    Cilantro

    Parmesan cheese

    Method


    For the Dressing


    Mix everything under dressing and refrigerate while preparing the salad.

    To assemble the Salad


    Tear the lettuce into small bits and place them in ice water to make them crisp. Remove from water just before assembling the salad. Julienne the carrot, slice the cucumber and tomatoes. Chop the pink onion and slice the olives. 

    If making croutons at home, just follow this recipe. 

    In a large mixing bowl, add all the vegetables. Top with some Italian Seasoning, pour the dressing and finally top with croutons and fresh parmesan. Serve immediately.

      Salads can be really tasty. All that lettuce topped with your favorite dressing and sprinkled with other toppings is enough to make your mouth water.'
