Instructions
Olive Garden Fresh Garden Salad Copycat
- Place bag of salad in a large bowl.
- Place red onion, black olives, banana peppers, tomatoes, and croutons on top of salad. Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you like, and add plenty of Olive Garden salad dressing on top. You can add more or less of each ingredient depending on your preference.
Olive Garden Salad Dressing
- Blend all ingredients together and chill until ready to use. The dressing will be more of a white color, but will taste very similar to Olive Garden’s House Dressing.
