Olive Garden Salad Before Adding Dressing

I thought I would give  you a good look at the salad itself before I tossed it with the dressing.

The salad has basic ingredients of a lettuce mix, red onion,  black olives, croutons, pepperoncini, and finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Make sure you add plenty of the veggies and stuff- the restaurant bowls always run out, don’t they?

Olive Garden  Salad Dressing in a Cruet

Here is a picture of the dressing in  a cruet, since  once it gets on the salad it is harder to see.

The dressing is very creamy  and flavorful, just as you’d expect.  I taste tested  the dressing against a purchased bottle.  And I also looked  over the ingredients. If something wasn’t needed,  I didn’t add it. And this dressing tastes pretty much dead on.

Olive Garden Salad Tossed with Dressing

Here the dressing is tossed with the salad. The proper way is to drizzle on the  dressing and then lift the lettuces from underneath. So that they tumble like laundry in a dryer.

This is to keep from bruising  the lettuces or weighing it down. If you put all the dressing dumped in  one spot and try to stir, it will not be as light.

Your  dressing should  keep fine in the fridge for several weeks if  you  don’t  use  it all. I have an antipasto salad coming up that uses this dressing as well.  Look for it soon! We love Italian dressing around here.

Great for pizza night!
