    U can get the recipes off the Olive Garden web site! But it has to be the full site not mobile! There’s a tab at the top that says RECIPES and it lets u pick between main dishes deserts or apitiezers or so on!

        They buy it already made. Not sure of the brand, but they take it right out of the container.

      I am pretty sure the salad dressing is a combination of creamy italian and regular italian, although I do not know the specific brands to use.

    I love the spinach dip recipe…..the home recipe is MUCH thicker and richer than the one at the restaurant. Theirs seems to be a little watered down.
