This dressing is killer good so yummy. Made it for a family get together. Sister and sister-in-law both wanted the recipe 😋
Awwwwe. I love that! Thanks for sharing Dawn 🙂
This was actually delicious. Tasted like Olive Garden, but way better. Just found this recipe in a google search. I was suspicious of the water, but I trusted the process! I used apple cider vinegar because it’s what I had and did grate fresh garlic. It was legit delicious. Thanks so much.
Yay! I am so happy you loved the dressing Missy 🙂
Our family is addicted to this dressing! We make all our dressings fresh and this one is worth the extra effort.
Olive Garden salad and breadsticks were a childhood favorite. After being sick recently it was the only thing that sounded good.
I am vegan so I made it with Veganaise and I only had light olive oil so I used entirely that.
Have made this several times and the recipe made it into my folder for future use.
Thank you for helping me with this craving!
Love this recipe. However , How much is a serving size? ( Tbsp or tsp ) How many carbs in that serving ?
