Olive Garden Salad Dressing is an iconic American salad dressing known for its creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor. It's a popular choice for salads, especially at Olive Garden restaurants, and can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce. This versatile dressing is made with a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, and herbs. The article provides two variations of the classic Olive Garden Salad Dressing recipe: a traditional version and a healthier version with Greek yogurt. Both recipes are easy to make at home with simple ingredients and can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences.
