Due to the legal department of Darden reaching out, I am not longer “allowed” to use the name of this “popular” chain Italian restaurant on this post. However, use your imagination!
My favorite part about eating at <insert name of popular chain Italian restaurant> is the big bowl of salad with their signature <insert name of popular chain Italian restaurant> Salad dressing drizzled all over the top.

Joyce at says Copycats that rock are hard to come by. Thank you for this awesome salad dressing. I am vegan and we eat a lot of salads. I had to improvise with using vegan mayo and vegan cheese. Sometimes, I do omit the cheese, and it’s still awesome. So easy to make, economical too.
I love Olive Garden’s salad dressing. Thank you for sharing a copycat version!
