Just buy a bottle of Wish Bone brand italian dressing, because that is what they use.
I have been to several functions that were catered by Olive Garden, and have seen the large commercial bottles of it there. There is no big "secret" to thier dressing, the same as the biscuits from Red Lobster..it's just Bisquick...the recipe is on the box...
You gotta be joking, right? That's like saying Kraft's buttermilk ranch dressing is the same as grandma's.
As a partaker of quality salad dressings, "Wish Bone brand italian dressing" is not their house recipe nor is it in the same zip code as O.G.'s.
Wish Bone brand Italian dressing is the same as Olive Garden's???? Yes, I am sure that is a joke and not to be taken seriously.
I have actually been a server at Olive Garden for two years now and we do make the dressing ourselves, it is not Wish Bone.
This is also not the recipe for the house dressing, not even close actually.
I tried this recipe and it is so salty I couldn't use it.
I don't know how this is going to turn out because I followed your recipe before I researched any others...but all the other ones call for 1/2 TEASPOONS not tablespoons of the seasonings.
15 years ago when I worked at olive garden, we used wish bone Italian dressing, then we doctored it up with cheeses (Parmesan, Romano?) and herbs. Been so long ago, I wish I could remember what they were.
I work at Olive Garden and no... we do not use wish bone dressing, we have our own secret recipe (and no... I do not know what it is) but you can buy a bottle at any OG for like $5.. i wouldn't bother trying to re-create it, by the time you buy all of the ingredients you will be spending more than $5 I'm sure.
I live in central Missouri and can buy the real stuff at local grocery stores for about $4. I assume others can too.
Just use Kraft light house Italian, its not the same but really good.
Someone I know works for McCormick Seasoning and THEY make the wonderful dressing for Olive Garden.
I worked at the Olive Garden for many years, and it is not Wish Bone Dressing! It is their own recipe, that even most of the employees don't know. That is a ridiculous comment!
I had restaurant for 21 years and the only Italian dressing we used was Sysco brand separating Italian. Never found better and as good if not better than Olive Garden. We had customers that we ordered gallons for. The only problem is finding a commercial outlet that will purchase it for u from Sysco. Luck to you!
wow, stupid people... says right on the back of the bottle that mccormick does indeed make it... now the real question is if you can buy the mccormick labeled OG italian for 1/2 the cost and the convience of buying it at your local grocer.
I work at Olive Garden, and there really is no need to make your own dressing..we sell it for $4.95.
I purchased a bottle of the salad dressing that said it was from olive Gardens recipes, but it had so much high fructose corn syrup that I never used it, YUCH! I will make my own...

I worked at Olive Garden in the mid-90's and at that time the dressing was Wish Bone Italian dressing with parmesan cheese added. I even recall seeing the labels on the large plastic jars they ordered in the back of the kitchen. I remember being surprised when I found out about the "special olive garden dressing". I also felt sorry for the customers that paid a premium for that doctored up salad dressing that was being re-bottled into fancier glass bottles by the hostesses & bartenders, as side work.
