1 t. lemon juice
2T beaten egg
1/3 c. water
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. corn syrup
3 T. grated romano cheese
2 T. dry unflavored pectin
1 1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. minced parsley
pinch dried oregano
pinch red pepper flakes

I hear ya, redguru, and I make dressing like that too.

However, if you want it like olive garden's I'm afraid this is pretty accurate. Save it for a treat day. =-)

I was going to say the Waffle House of Italian food, but you are being kind.

No.



I worked there for a few weeks since they hire wait staff with no prior experience. The food really wasnt good. Plus those outfits look gay as hell on a woman.

wtf???

 

[wootoom]

lolol

 

[heatherrae]

You are welcome people.

And, no, I don't think olive garden is authentic italian food. Sheesh, some food snobs up in here, though...lol. I do think, however, that their salad is great!

 

[PICK3]

Olive Garden = dog food

Sorry HR, you're still a sweetie.

But their dressing = yummy.

 

[Mr. dB]

I agree that Olive Garden is awful, and that their dressing is strangely addictive.

I love the yummy unflavored pectin in particular. Would it be okay to substitute algin in a pinch?

I have never worked with algin, but if it is an unflavored thickener that works cold and gives it the right viscosity, I don't see why not. =-)

[bran987]

yeah it's not that great but I really love the salad. haven't had it in years though.

Your membership card as an Italian has been revoked.

Their breadsticks are almost like raw dough, and certainly nothing like anything you'd find in any Italian bakery.

I didnt like them either, but peeps be eating that fuckers up like catfish. I worked lunch mostly during my brief tenure as an Olive Garden geekstress and people ate those things like they were loaded with maryjane or something.

I like very very lighlty cooked bread. The bread itself isn't that good, though. I think that people just like that the outside is very buttery, garlicky, and salty.
