Olive Garden Salad

You don’t need to go out to enjoy the flavors of your favorite Italian salad. This Olive Garden salad recipe is super easy to make at home and features all your favorite ingredients - tomatoes, olives, croutons and that classic peperoncini. I’ve made this one dairy free, but you can easily customize it at the table with your favorite cheese, just like they do at the restaurant.
