From the restaurant chain. I just had it in FL and it was so delicious. Couldn't stop eating it. I got the recipe on-line. I made it with 1 cup (not 2 cups of oil)for the dressing and it was perfect. Also, I have used just Romaine and it was delicious too. Splenda can sub for sugar.

MAGGIANO'S SALAD DRESSING RECIPE - (3.5/5)



Maggiano's Salad Dressing Recipe - (3.5/5) image

Provided by Marie1127

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (omit if using hot mustard)
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn, fresh ground
1 teaspoon fresh oregano (or 3/4 t. dried oregano)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Pour water and vinegar into a blender bowl or food processor. Add sugar, mustard, peppers, oregano, garlic, salt and garlic. Blend until smooth. Combine the olive oil and the vegetable oil. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle oil into blender and blend for 3 to 4 minutes. This creates the emulsion, which will make the dressing appear creamy and slow down separation. Now for the Parmesan. You have a choice. If you would like a very smooth dressing, add the Parmesan and pulse with other ingredients. If you would like more texture, just add the Parm to the blender bowl and simply mix it in with a spoon, though with the Parmesan stirred in, the dressing seems to separate faster.
