Just be sure you grab some Italian dressing mix, oil, vinegar, sugar and mayonnaise the next time you’re at the store. Throw in some spices you probably already have on hand, and that’s all you’ll need to recreate this recipe.

To see the full list of ingredients and the full recipe for the dressing, head on over to Dessert Now Dinner Later.

Now we should probably tell you that if you don’t even want to put in the effort to make this quick and easy dressing at home, you can buy bottled Olive Garden dressing from a number of retailers. But we promise this recipe is so easy that you won’t think twice about making it yourself over and over again.

And if you can’t get enough of that Olive Garden taste, the fun doesn’t have to stop at salad. Amber from the blog points out that she’s a master at recreating other Olive Garden recipes too.
