Olive Garden Salad Dressing Recipe

My all time favorite salad dressing is the house dressing that so graciously caresses the tender lettuce and tomato of an Olive Garden salad. I do not know the exact recipe, but the one I use sure tastes close. My wife likes it because it seems lighter than the one Olive Garden serves, but it still has that great, tangy flavor.

This is the one I use quite often:

Ingredients

1/2 cup white wine vinegar

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup corn syrup

1/8 Cup grated Romano cheese


1/8 Cup grated Parmesean Cheese

1 egg white

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1 pinch dried oregano

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes



Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients with a mixer on medium speed or in a blender on low speed for 30 seconds.

2. Chill at least 1 hour.

3. Serve over mixed greens.

For the salad, I combine:


1 bag of American style salad
1/2 Red onion, sliced
1/2 Can black olives
1 tomato, sliced
banana peppers

These two recipes go well together!!
