This was good - not restaurant like but good just the same. I added some crushed red pepper to one version and I made a second batch and added some Franks Hot Sauce and served over a grilled chicken salad.

Basically good. My adjustments were 1/2 basalmic vinegar 1/2 white wine vinegar, honey instead of corn syrup otherwise I followed the recipe. Just the right amount of italian seasoning.

Tangy! Added about a teaspoon of sugar to cut the sharpness but still.... Didn't remind me of Olive Garden at all but still pretty good. I don't like to use bottled dressings so I will likely do this one again.

I followed the recipe exactly but used homemade mayo and organic corn syrup and olive oil, so it would be GMO free and healthier. I didn't think the dressing tasted anything like Olive Garden's, but it was very tasty in its own right. I did not find that it needed extra sugar.

Very good. Used fresh parsley in place of dried and didn't add sugar. I prefer the Creamy Italian Dressing I from this site, though and will probably make that next time.

I forgot to review this, and made it like last year for the first time! I loved it...and make it often since! It's sooo good that we eat it with raw veggies! Found my daughter licking it. Wouldn't change a thing!

It okay. My husband really liked it. For me, I had to add a few things to make it not so sour and tart. I will make it again for him but Ill probably just use my Kraft Catalina for me.

While I didn't find this dressing to be the same as the Italian restsurant version, it was delicious none the less! Made it just as written and felt no changes were necessary. It was a little tart, but we enjoyed that. I also thought it was a little on the thin side, but it ended up coating the salad beautifully. I will be using this recipe again! Thanks for sharing. :)

I didn't have all herbs on hand so used what I did have...added some dried Italian herb spice mixture....halved the salt as per other suggestions. This is an excellent base for Italian dressing. Delicious. This makes the BEST Italian dressing I've ever tasted. Thx for the recipe......so easy, very tasty. I will never have to buy packaged mix again. Totally loved it. Was so happy to find it here. A rare find.
