Olive Garden Signature Italian Dressing
We love Olive Garden in our house. One of my favorite things to get is soup, salad, and breadsticks. I find myself craving this multiple times a month. So a few months back I set out to make my favorite Olive Garden copycat recipes so that we can make them at home as often as we would like. I have to say we have perfected our Copycat Olive Garden Salad, especially with this Olive Garden Salad dressing recipe.
It is as close to the restaurant as you will get (my family thinks it is better) and it is better for you! It is simple to make as well, making it perfect to use for your favorite salads, marinating chicken, and other recipes that call for a creamy Italian dressing.
