What type of salad dressing is served at olive garden?
Answers:
Italian. If you go to www.olivegarden.com you may purchase a bottle of their dressing.
Italian and ranch are the two that I know of...they may have more but I never ask.
In their famous salad it's Italian, but they carry everything else if you want you salad plain!
The serve a standard Italian dressing:

And a very good Ranch Dressing

The salad dressing used at Olive Garden is their own special salad dressing but they are willing to sell you a bottle each and every time you go into one of their restuarants. Less than $ 10 and tastes just as good at home as it does at the restaurant!
OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING
1/2 cup white or red wine vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons dry pectin (used to thicken jelly)
2 tablespoons beaten egg or egg substitue
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic or 1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
pinch of oregano
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
Combine all of the ingredients with a mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds -Or- in a blender on low speed for 30 seconds -Or- use a wand mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Chill at least 1 hour.
Serve over mixed greens or use as a marinade. I like to add the hot peppers in the salad that the restaurant uses. It tastes closer to the original that way.
