Texas Roadhouse Italian Salad Dressing

Finally, I’m so happy to share my first copycat Texas Roadhouse recipe on my blog, and I wanted to start with the best Italian Salad Dressing I’ve ever tasted. This Texas Roadhouse Italian Salad Dressing has been my first choice ever since the first time I made it.

Texas Roadhouse is one of my favorite restaurants for me and my wife too. We have so many memories there, and we love their menu so much. I would say that I have tasted almost everything they offer.

Since summer is so close, I’m planning to recreate their Texas Roadhouse Kenny’s Cooler in the next weeks.

I won’t say that this copycat Texas Roadhouse Italian Salad Dressing is exactly like the original, but it is so good and, for me, it’s the best alternative. I even looked at other copycat recipes online, and they are far from the real one, so I feel confident saying mine is the best you can make at home.

I didn’t even use too many ingredients, just some classic ones and you’re good to go.
