Olive Garden House Salad Dressing Recipe

We recently met with a group of friends for a birthday dinner at the Olive Garden Restaurant, and were surprisingly impressed by their house Olive Garden Salad Dressing.

Now, we are understandably hard to please - we love to cook, believe in fresh ingredients and find most restaurant fare sub-standard (please forgive our frankness) - but the Olive Garden house salad dressing recipe was one we thoroughly enjoyed, so we really had to get the recipe to pass on to you.

Needless to say the Olive Garden guards their recipes, but were were able to find this copycat Olive Garden Salad dressing recipe that closely approximates the real thing, and are happy to present it to you, courtesy of the RecipeZaar.
