Dairy Free + Vegan "Olive Garden" Dressing
9:39 AM
This dressing was a combination of an experiment and craving.
The other day I was determined to make a nice salad to go with our lovely gluten free french bread pizzas. I decided to attempt a dressing I have actually been wanting to recreate for some time but was always a little hesitant to.
I will say it turned out as close to the original as you can get while being dairy free and vegan!
Part 1
1 packet Italian Dressing Mix made to directions

1/3 tsp celery salt
2 TBLS salt
Add 2 TBLS of the above mix to...
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
2 tbls. water
Part 2
1tbs. garlic salt
1 TBLS of onion powder
1 TBLS of sugar
2 TBLS of oregano

¾ cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (or white)
¼ cup water

¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon of vegan mayo (I used Just Mayo)
Directions
Make Part 1 of this recipe in a medium bowl.
Add all the ingredients in Part 2 to Part 1. Whisk till blended then store in a dressing container.
The mix will settle easily so make sure to shake it well and poor quickly.
Keep stored in the fridge.
I know it seems a little silly that you are basically making two dressings and combining them, but trust me, it has the best outcome!

A little xanthan gum (often used in gluten free baking) will keep it from separating. It is what many commercial dressings use as well
