Ingredients:

1 bag American Blend Dole Salad
4-5 slices Red Onion
4-6 Black Olives
2-4 Banana Peppers
1/2 C. Croutons
1 small Tomato Quartered
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese 


Place bag of salad in bowl. Place red onion, black olives, banana peppers, tomatoes, and croutons on top of salad. Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you like, and add plenty of Dressing on top.  You can add more or less of each ingredient depending on your preference. 



Dressing:
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/3 cup White Vinegar
1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
2 tablespoons Corn Syrup
2  tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
2  tablespoons Romano Cheese
1/4  teaspoon Garlic Salt - or one clove garlic minced
1/2  teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/2  teaspoon Parsley Flakes
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Blend all ingredients together and chill until ready to use.  The dressing will be a white color, but will taste very similar to Olive Garden's House Dressing.
