DIY Olive Garden Salad

Recently I discovered two things.  One, that Olive Garden marketed a "light" salad dressing (it's available in their restaurants)! Two, they now sell their bottled dressing in grocery stores.  Our local store carries it with the rest of the dressings on the top shelf.  This stuff is good and lets be honest, all of us go there for the salad and breadsticks.  Unfortunately for me, Adam just simply isn't a fan of Olive Garden (well anything not meat and potatoes really...).  I am, however, lucky that he loves salad!  This re-creation was as simple as buying the salad ingredients, a bottle of dressing and taking the time to throw it all together!


Olive Garden salad includes a romaine mix, black olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parmesan cheese, croutons and peppers.  Toss it all up in a big bowl and voila! The best thing about making it at home is you don't have to worry about unwanted ingredients.  Plus, everyone can add their own dressing!
