Olive Garden Salad Dressing

Olive Garden salad.... why is it so delicious? It’s pretty simple as far as salads go: no fancy lettuce or exciting toppings. But that dressing sends it over the top!

I made this dressing all the time (until we started deputation, and then I found out Olive Garden sold the dressing at Walmart. We always had a bottle in our RV fridge 🙂). Now that we are in PNG with no Walmarts around, this recipe is quickly becoming a favorite again. 

This recipe is so easy! Just throw everything in a blender until the dressing is smooth and combined. It is also very easy to adjust to your tastes. If you like it a little thinner, add more oil. If you want it a little less tangy, reduce the vinegar by a tablespoon or two.  The dressing can be stored in the fridge for about 10 days. 

If you can’t find mayonnaise or corn syrup where you are, make your own! There is a recipe for mayonnaise on this blog already, and we have plans to do more “staples” and substitutes for ingredients (including corn syrup) here soon! In the meantime, you can use honey as a corn syrup substitute in this recipe.
