Make a creamy, tangy Italian salad dressing at home that tastes just like the one served at Olive Garden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the vegetable oil, water, white wine vinegar, and distilled white vinegar in a blender.
  2. Add the sugar, minced onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and celery seed to the blender.
  3. Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds until it starts to emulsify slightly.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Blend again until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Stop blending as soon as it is combined to prevent the cheese from becoming pasty.
  6. Pour the dressing into an airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let the dressing rest in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If the dressing separates after sitting, shake the container well or briefly blend it again before use.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise for some of the oil if you prefer a thicker dressing, but this recipe aims for the classic Olive Garden consistency.
