The Olive Garden Salad Recipe
Who doesn't love the Olive Garden salad? Here's how you can make it at home (sans the bread sticks unfortunately).
The Dressing:
*8 oz. Paul Newman's Vinegar and Oil Dressing
*1 clove garlic, minced
*1/2 tsp. dried basil
*1/2 tsp. dried oregano
*3 packets NutraSweet
Add all ingredients into the bottle of dressing. Shake well. Refrigerate 24 hours.
The Salad
*1/2 bunch romaine lettuce, washed and torn
*1/2 head iceberg lettuce, washed and torn
*3 sliced Roma tomatoes
*1 small red onion sliced into thin rings
*1/2 green pepper sliced into thin rings
*1 cup black pitted olives
*1 cup pepperoncini salad peppers
Mix together and pour enough dressing to coat. Top with fresh Parmesan cheese and croutons. It works for us.
Yum. I love the Olive Garden salad. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Ooh, I'm so excited and we don't have one where I live (the Middle East). This is so great! Thanks for sharing.
I love Olive Garden Salad! One problem - we don't have Newman's salad dressing here in Russia . . .
wonder what is in it other than vinegar and oil?
Yum, yum, yum! Thanks for sharing!

Does the extra dressing keep well, or does it need to be used pretty much immediately? I'm only feeding me, and 8 ounces of dressing will last forever.
I'm the only one who eats this at our house and the dressing does keep well. I just make the salad and pour on what I need for that individual serving and keep the remaining dresssing as needed!
Thanks so much for this recipe. My in-laws are in love with this salad!
