I have been able to find it at Publix and Winn Dixie here in Florida in the salad dressing aisle. I agree, it is an awesome dressing!

When I lived near an Olive Garden in 2003/2004, I used to buy their salad dressing, don't know if they still sell it. I almost always went for lunch and got the soup,salad and breadsticks special.

I love just about ever thing I've had at Olive Garden. If I had to pick one thing it would have to be the bread sticks for sure! My husband and I go there often and we always order the soup and salad with the brad sticks, all you can eat. We always order a extra order of the bread sticks to go. Now I have the recipes and can make them all here at home. Thank you so much for sharing all of these great recipes.

why does the recipe say shrimp scampi and then when you click onto it is chicken scampi? It was from the Olive Garden's copycat recipes.

The Chicken Marsala is by far the best I've ever had! I substitute angel hair pasta as I like the thinner noodle with it.

It's so hard to choose just ONE recipe from Olive Garden. But I would have to say that my favorite dish would be the Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno. I want to try to make my own version at home!

I am wondering, I recall the minestrone had a tomato base, but no tomatoes or tomato sauce (stewed tomatoes etc) and I don't recall rice or barley in it either..so just wondering how it tasted..
