Olive Garden Salad and Dressing

Olive Garden’s signature salad is a simple and refreshing combination of fresh lettuce, typically iceberg and romaine, sliced red onions, black olives, pepperoncini peppers and often cherry tomatoes. The salad is often accompanied by seasoned croutons, which add a crunchy element to the dish.

The salad is served with a creamy Italian dressing that has a tangy and slightly sweet flavor. This dressing is a highlight and a key component of the dining experience at Olive Garden.

Besides the wonderful taste, another thing that makes Olive Garden’s salad unique is that it’s all-you-can-eat, with servers frequently refilling your bowl throughout the meal.

The salad and dressing are a beloved part of the Olive Garden menu, contributing to the restaurant’s Italian-American dining experience.
