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!
