Very easy and delicious. It's the first time I've seen my kids finish their entire salad. I added the sugar because it was a bit too bitter without. We cooked the crab fettucini with this and bread sticks. We felt spoiled!

I was just about to post my salad dressing recipe which is virtually identical to this. The only difference is that I use 3 T. of corn syrup, and I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I blend the ingredients until they are completely emulsified. This is my favorite salad dressing, and something that always impresses dinner guests! A++++ For anyone who gave this less than 4-5 stars, they must not like Olive Graden's dressing either, because it is very much the same.

Super! When I first tried it, I didn't think it tasted like Olive Garden, but after I put it in the refrigerator, I changed my mind. I could eat my weight in this!

It's a really great tasting and simple dressing, but it's not the Olive Garden Dressing I know (in Winnipeg). I've been looking for this copycat recipe for a while, and am led to believe Olive Garden doesn't use mayo in their dressing. I'm going to try Tonkats' version of this next.

Great recipe. I use to work at Olive Garden and I found it to be very close. Don't expect it to be like dressing your buy in the store, you just toss your salad in this slightly watery, yet flavorful mixture. It makes a beautiful salad to serve at the table, just the way Olive Garden serves it. Then, you can easily help yourself to seconds. I always get compliments on this attractive salad.

I made this for dinner tonight to go on a salad along with our spaghetti. My picky husband loved it. All of us loved it and I'll be putting this one in my permanent recipe file. I made one change. instead of garlic salt, I used a clove of garlic. I put everything in the food processor then let it chill for a few hours before serving it.

Good recipe. Daughter really liked. I used white balsamic vinegar and olive oil because it is what I had on hand.

This dressing was delicious- I actually thought it tasted better than Olive Garden's. (It was like a creamy version of Olive Garden's). I accidentally omitted the lemon juice and it was so good, I have been afraid to change it. Very good and I highly recommend it!

This is now our new favorite dressing. We don't have the Olive Garden where I live, so whenever we are out of town we tried to find one. The kids were sampling this before I got it on the salad. Good thing it makes lots.
