Olive Garden Italian Salad Dressing

This recipe recreates Olive Garden's Italian salad dressing with white vinegar, water, canola oil, corn syrup, Romano cheese, instant pectin, raw egg, and seasonings. Ingredients are processed together and chilled to develop flavor and texture. The dressing balances acidity, oiliness, and a hint of sweetness alongside savory cheese and garlic notes.

Description

The Olive Garden Italian Salad Dressing combines white vinegar for tang, water to adjust consistency, and canola oil for smoothness and body. Corn syrup adds mild sweetness, while Romano cheese contributes salty, umami notes. Instant pectin helps stabilize and thicken the dressing. Raw beaten egg provides emulsification, blending oil and vinegar into a uniform texture. Garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes add flavor complexity and a slight spicy hint.

Preparation involves processing all ingredients thoroughly then refrigerating for an hour to meld flavors and allow the dressing to set. The resulting dressing is bright and flavorful, suitable for leafy green salads or drizzling over vegetables.
