Copycat Olive Garden Salad



"Just, please give me the entire bowl", says me at Olive Garden.  Now I can eat endless salad in my own home!  Fine....I'll share.


Serves 8 (serving size: about 2 cups)

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon) 
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar (or Stevia for Keto)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup) 
  • 2 (5-oz.) pkg. American salad mix
  • ¾ cup pitted black olives
  • ¾ cup pickled pepperoncini (Optional)
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion 
  • 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 (4.5-oz.) pkg. large seasoned croutons (optional, make your own with Keto bread for LC)

Instructions:

Combine oil, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic, and Parmesan in a food processor, and process until thoroughly combined.

Combine salad mix, olives, pepperoncini, onion, tomatoes, and croutons in a large bowl. Drizzle salad with dressing; toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
