Excellent! No changes necessary. Always a hit when I serve it and people always ask me for the recipe.
I’ve been craving this recipe but the Olive Garden brand at the store is filled with soy and preservatives. I’m so happy I found your recipe! I substituted the mayo with Greek yogurt. Gave it that creamy texture without extra fat. I also
used an immersion blender. It took just a few push of the button to get it mixed. Tasted amazing! For anyone that’s allergic to soy (me) I used Walmart house brand of Italian mix.
SO much like the real thing at Olive Garden. Just fabulous! Happy dance time!! Bunches of thanks for sharing.
I’m wondering if I can use all olive oil instead of veg oil and olive. How will it affect the taste?
I’ve only made the recipe as written Melissa, so I can’t say for sure.
I make it this way because we only have light olive oil in our house and it is great!
I’ve made your recipe many times…an absolute favourite at our house! The flavours are bang on! Thanks for sharing.
Yes I made this and so good
There seems to be Parmesan /Romano in the dressing. Would that work
