This is very close to Olive Garden's! It's not *exact*, but I suspect they add glucose and goodness knows what else. I added just a pinch of sugar, and it balanced out the acidity beautifully. I used homemade mayo instead of miracle whip. If I could I'd rate this as a 4 1/2, but I gave 5 stars because it's really very close to the original and it's excellent as a stand alone dressing recipe.

"Italian Seasoning," could mean SO many different things that no two cooks are ever going to turn out the same dressing. There are dozens of different brands and recipes to create your own version of "Italian Seasoning." <br/><br/>I would like to know the REAL secret of this dressing: the herbs and/or spices used to create the actual taste. Who has the Olive Garden's recipe for "Italian Seasoning?"

Quite good. Maybe not Olive Garden but still a good solid dressing. I replaced the Miracle Whip with Mayo, as I cannot stand the taste and I omit the water.

Almost the same, but I still really liked it. I won't buy store brands again. I did add a pinch of sugar. So over all it is a really good recipe.

We love Olive Garden so I thought I would try this. I was not disappointed. This was good and different from the salad dressings we usually use. Thanks for the recipe.
