This easy Olive Garden salad recipe tastes just like the original! Made with store-bought Olive Garden dressing and croutons for a quick, flavorful salad at home.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 bag iceberg garden salad mix or homemade salad mix, ingredients in notes
  • 2 Roma tomatoes sliced
  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pitted black olives
  • 4-6 pepperoncini peppers
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • 1 cup croutons Olive Garden brand preferred
  • 1 cup Olive Garden Signature Salad Dressing

Instructions

  • Place iceberg salad mix in a large serving bowl.
  • Add tomatoes, olives, onion, pepperoncini, parmesan, and croutons.
  • Drizzle with salad dressing.
  • Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

Instead of bagged salad mix you can use:
  • 6 cups chopped iceberg lettuce and/or romaine lettuce
  • ¼ cup shredded red cabbage
  • ¼ cup julienned carrots
Don’t care for pepperoncini? You can leave them out.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, please keep in mind that this salad is best enjoy right away as the croutons will get soggy as time goes on.
To make ahead, prep the salad while leaving the croutons and dressing aside to be added just before serving.
