Day 3: Olive Garden Copy Cat Dressing

Day 3 I choose to do a salad dressing...it "suppose" to be a copy cat of the yummy dressing everyone of us love from the Olive Garden.  The originally recipe can be found at mommysaves.com

It was a fairly easy recipe to follow...put all the ingredients together, mix & add to salad.  Most of the ingredients are things you most likely have in your cabinets.  The only thing I was missing was the Italian seasoning...I substitute a few "Italian" spices I had in my spice rack (oregano, basil, salt & a little pepper.)

As you mix it up you'll notice the dressing is a more creamy look than the more oil like Olive Garden dressing. 

Olive Garden Salad Dressing

• 1/2 C. mayonnaise
• 1/3C. white vinegar
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. corn syrup
• 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbsp. Romano cheese
• 1/4 tsp. garlic seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

I am giving this recipe a 2.  Overall it was really quick & easy to make...but not really like the Olive Garden's.  This is more like a creamy Italian dressing.  Would I eat it again and/or make it...yes, but I wouldn't advertise it as a Olive Garden copy cat.  Give it a try & let me know what you think...I will be having Momma S try it this weekend and get her opinion.
