Top Secret Restaurant Recipes

Posted in Italian, Recipes with tags , , on April 19, 2008 by jenn21487

I have a book called Top Secret Restaurant Recipes by Todd Wilbur that I will be selecting some recipes from to post here for anyone that might be interested in making some of their favorite meals at home. =)

The first recipe that I thought I would do would be The Olive Garden’s Italian Salad Dressing because I know it is the only reason I go there.

OIive Garden’s Italian Salad Dressing

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup corn syrup

2 1/2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese

2 tablespoons dry pectin

2 tablespoons beaten egg or egg substitute

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

pinch of dried oregano and pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients and blend. Chill for 1 hour.

I will posting more restaurant recipes in the future from TGI Fridays, Applebees, Outback Steakhouse and more!
