A salad from the Garden....

Is there anyone that does NOT love Olive Garden ? Italian food is AWESOME , and Olive Garden is one of the best- good food & affordable!! I personally love the salad the best, and this recipe I'm sharing with you today is one I found a few years back, and it is pretty darn close to Olive Garden's recipe. Toss up a batch of it tonite!!

Salad Mix-
you'll need : 1 bag of American Blend from Dole salad, 4 slices of red onion, 6 black olives, 2-4 banana peppers, 1/2 cup croutons, 1 small tomato (quatered), Parmesan cheese.

Salad prep : Chill one salad bowl in the freezer for 30 min. Place bag of salad in the bowl. Add onions, olives, peppers, croutons, & tomatoes. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese. Top with dressing (recipe below)

Salad Dressing :
