How do you make a good restaurant quality salad?
I LOVE eating salads at a restaurant..... but when I try to make them they seem so bland and not very good. I have all the ingredients from a restaurant, but it tastes so bland. Is this in my mind or is there a special secret step/ingredient that I don't use?
I have:
leaf lettuce
tomato
green pepper
red onion
black olives
cheese
I love Italian dressing(like Olive Garden)... but have yet to find a good dressing from the store.
Can you help? Thanks!
I have a copy cat recipe for Olive gardens dressing, let me find it.
Okay here is is:
For the dressing:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Miracle Whip (I know, I know, but I think it gives the dressing its distinct flavor.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
For the salad:
1 10-ounce bag American salad blend (I used a mixture of Romaine and spring greens)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
4 small pickled peppers, such as pepperoncini
1 small vine-ripened tomato, quartered
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
1/2 cup large croutons
1 tablespoon grated
Combine all the dressing ingredients and 1 to 2 tablespoons water in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth.
Place the salad blend in a large bowl and top with the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with the dressing.
Serves 4.
