Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

IMO,very close to Olive Garden's, but, not exact. Very delicious still, though!

I agree, this recipe doesn't look or taste much like Olive Garden, but.. it does taste really good! Before you decide, be sure to put it on some lettuce, then try it. It's quite good!

This salad dressing was VERY tart...I even added a little sugar as suggested to tone it down but it definately was NOT like the live garden. It was a decent tasting dressing but not the Olive garden!

Sorry, nothing at all like OG's. Taste like sour mayonnaise.
I thought it tasted and smelled just like the real deal from Olive Garden! As far as the look it was creamy looking like ranch! But it was overall great!

I don't eat at Olive Garden or any other chain restaurant so I don't know what this is suppose to taste like. This was an good basic recipe. I changed it to a reduced calorie by adding sour cream instead of mayonaise. Used rice wine vinegar (not as tart and less acidic, fresh oregano and basil, sugar not corn syrup and grated Reggiano Parmesano instead of store stuff. I used it as a base for a italian pasta salad and it worked great. When I look at a recipe I try to decide what is good about it and what I want to change.

This tasted okay, it just didn't tast e or look like Olive Garden House dressing. It was more of an italian/ranch dressing recipe. Not so great.
