Gloria Pitzer's Olive Garden-Style Salad Dressing image

Gloria Pitzer is known for copying famous foods, but making them healthy at the same time. "I take the junk out of junk food," says Pitzer. "You know what goes into my recipes." Gloria is careful to point out that she doesn't actually know what the big chains put in their food. "I don't try to dissect the foods and figure out the chemical ingredients," she says. "I never, ever try to steal anyone's secret corporate recipe. I just do my best to duplicate the taste." Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups Italian dressing, bottled
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons sugar (or equivalent in artificial sugar)
