olive garden salad

A copycat recipe for the famous Olive Garden Salad, complete with juicy sweet tomatoes, tangy pepperoncini peppers, savory black olives, zesty Parmesan cheese, sharp red onions, and garlicky croutons. The salad is dressed in a homemade creamy Italian dressing (or pick up Olive Garden&#039;s dressing at the store).

Olive Garden Salad

romaine lettuce, (coarsely chopped)

black olives

Roma tomatoes, (thinly sliced)

pepperoncini peppers

Parmesan cheese, (freshly grated)

(73 grams) red wine vinegar

Dijon mustard

oregano

Italian seasoning

white sugar

olive oil

full-fat mayo

SALAD: Coarsely chop the lettuce, wash and throughly dry (I love a salad spinner for this step). Place lettuce in a large bowl. Top the salad with black olives, thinly sliced tomatoes, very thinly sliced red onion, and pepperoncini.

DRESSING: In a large mason jar add all the dressing ingredients: 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon white sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons mayo, and salt &amp; pepper to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Put on the lid and shake to combine. It might take a minute of good vigorous shaking, but the mayo should completely integrate (keep shaking until it does). If you have time, make this ahead and chill in the fridge to intensify the flavors.  Shake again right before mixing in to the salad.

ASSEMBLY: Right before eating (See Note 1), toss the salad with the dressing (you probably won&#039;t use all the dressing -- See Note 2). Add the croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese right on top and enjoy immediately.

Hi, this is Stephanie Manley with copykat.com. We've shown you how to make
the Olive Garden salad dressing. Well today, we're going to show you how to
put that salad together. So we've shown you how to make the Olive Garden
salad dressing, but we didn't show you how to put the salad together until
just now, so we are going to put our salad together.

I want you to get a large bag of salad and I really like this Dole regular
salad. It has cabbage and carrots in it. I've got a large bowl, right here.
Now a big tip is to go ahead, and put this bowl in your refrigerator and
let it chill.

The next thing we are going to do is we're going to add a little bit of red
onions right here, and we're going to add one or two tomatoes, quartered,
and then we're going to add pepperoncini. Now pepperoncini peppers are a
little hotter than banana peppers, so if you like something that's less hot
use banana peppers instead. But if you like the heat, go ahead and use the
pepperoncini.

Then finally some black olives and we're just going to put our black olives
on top. That's perfect. And what do we need next, croutons, so we're going
to top the salad off with some croutons. All right, here you go. You have
an Olive Garden salad. We've just made the Olive Garden salad mix. So if
you like this video, please give me a big thumbs up here on YouTube and
drop me a comment of what recipe you'd love to see next.
