Olive Garden Salad Dressing
Description
This dressing is prepared by whisking or shaking together all ingredients until fully combined. The mayonnaise and Parmesan add creamy body, while white vinegar provides acidity to balance the oil and sugar. Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder bring herbaceous and savory depth.
It is recommended to store the dressing in the refrigerator in a sealed container, as separation naturally occurs. Shaking or stirring before use recombines the ingredients. The dressing is suitable for drizzling over greens or using as a dip.
The recipe yields about three-quarters of a cup, enough for one or two large salads or several smaller servings. Adjustments to vinegar or sugar can tailor the taste to preference.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a prep bowl and whisk together, or add them to a jar and shake vigorously until combined. Taste and adjust if needed (e.g. add more vinegar or sugar).
- Keep dressing in a sealed container in the fridge for 5-7 days. Shake well before using as some separation will occur.
Notes
- Makes about 3/4 cup dressing, suitable for one to two large salads.
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days.
- Shake well before each use as ingredients naturally separate during storage.
