ALMOST-FAMOUS GARDEN SALAD RECIPE - FOOD NETWORK



Almost-Famous Garden Salad Recipe - Food Network image

About 150 million people will sit down for dinner at an Olive Garden this year, and here’s guessing that 149.9 million of them will gorge on all-you-can-eat salad and breadsticks before any of the food they actually ordered shows up. The stuff is addictive, which explains why so many of you wrote in asking for the recipe. We couldn’t get the tight-lipped staff at Olive Garden’s Orlando, FL, headquarters to give up their secret to Nancy Kahm from Omaha, Kristin Collier from Baltimore and everyone else who wrote. But we did the next best thing: Food Network Kitchens ordered a big batch of salad and breadsticks to go, then developed these tasty copies just for you.

PERFECT GARDEN SALAD RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Perfect Garden Salad Recipe - Food.com image

My husband learned to make salad from his mother, so the family has been making salads this way for 50 years. We have this virtually every day. It takes a little practice, because the dressing is made "to taste". If you change type of oil or vinegar, you'll need to experiment a little learn how much to use. Our favorites are olive oil, and balsamic or rice wine vinegars. But other oils and vinegars work too. Parmesan from the can works (and it's what we use for everyday) but fresh grated is even better. Change vegetables to suit your tastes or what's in season. Play with it, and have fun - this is more of a technique than a recipe.

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 head lettuce (or a combo of iceberg, romaine, butter, spring greens etc)
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cucumber, peeled as needed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 avocado, diced
2 radishes, sliced (optional)
1 celery rib, sliced (optional)
4 mixed mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 carrot, peeled and diced (optional)
seasoning salt, to taste
seasoned pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
parmesan cheese, grated, to taste
olive oil, to taste
vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • Tear lettuce into bite sized pieces and wash and dry thoroughly. Place in large salad bowl (wider than it is deep). Top with prepared vegetables.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cheese. Go lightly until you learn how much is "to taste" for you.
  • Pour oil over salad, then vinegar. It is important that the oil be first. Quantity requires a bit of practice - go light on the vinegar at first. You can add more if needed. Aim to coat the top layer of vegetables. Toss until well mixed. Taste - add vinegar or oil if needed, and toss again. Do not add dry ingredients (see below). Serve immediately.
  • Note: Your first couple salads may not be perfect. If you find that you didn't add enough salt or pepper, let diners add more as served - you can't get it well dispersed if you add to the salad bowl after the oil and vinegar have been added If you find that you added too much vinegar, a little salt can counteract - again, add as served.
