Equipment
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 Separate bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian dressing mix
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
 
  • Start by assembling all the necessary ingredients for the Olive Garden Salad Dressing.
  • Combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
    This will create the seasoning blend for your dressing.
  • Add the extra-virgin olive oil, mayonnaise, white vinegar, and fresh lemon juice in a separate bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
    These are the base components for the dressing.
  • Carefully pour the seasoning blend you prepared earlier into the wet ingredients.
    Ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Whisk the ingredients together in the bowl, or tightly seal the jar and shake well.
    This will emulsify the dressing and ensure a smooth, homogenous texture.
  • Taste your dressing and make any necessary adjustments to the flavors.
    If you find the dressing too tangy, add a little more mayonnaise, or if you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, add more minced garlic.
  • This Olive Garden Salad Dressing recipe pairs well with various green salads, Italian-inspired salads, or the classic Olive Garden Salad.
    Enjoy!
