Imitation Olive Garden Salad
Uses from this basket: Lettuce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp corn syrup
• 4 T grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp parsley flakes
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• Lettuce
• Sliced red onion
• Diced tomato
• Croutons
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Mix mayo, vinegar, vegetable oil, corn syrup, 4 T Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender until well mixed. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Place the lettuce in salad bowl. Top with red onion, tomato, and croutons (you can also do olives but I left them out because I don't like them). Toss with salad dressing. Top with Parmesan cheese.

*We ate this with an imitation of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana (recipe previously posted here).
