On it's own, the salad dressing is pretty good. Not really what Olive Garden's tastes like, at least from what I remember. I did do one thing that really improved the flavor and added about 2 teaspoons of Good Season's (made from the packet that I had in the fridge and it made this the best salad dressing I have ever eaten!!! Hopefully my guests will agree!!

This dressing was AWESOME!! Like others I've read, I wasn't sure about those ingredients, but I thought "what the heck, I'll try anything once". So glad I did. I made it for a grad party. Everyone loved it!!
