Italian Dressing and Salad

Tastes just like Olive Garden's salad!

Dressing: 
1 Italian Dressing packet (and ingredients needed to make dressing)
½ tsp. dried Italian Seasoning
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. sugar
¼ tsp. garlic powder
½ tbsp. mayo
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbs. white vinegar
1 ½ tbsp. water

Prepare Italian Dressing as directed in a mason jar or bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Stores well in the fridge for several weeks. Shake well before using.

Salad: 
1 large head romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
red onion, slice
black olives
cherry or grape tomatoes
2-4 banana peppers, optional
croutons
Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)

Toss salad ingredients with dressing right before serving.
