What dressing is paired with the Italian Salad?

The Italian Salad at Carrabba's is traditionally paired with Italian Vinaigrette dressing, which complements the flavors of the salad perfectly. This dressing typically includes ingredients such as vinegar, oil, herbs, and spices, enhancing the fresh ingredients like lettuce, tomatoes, and olives found in the salad. The Italian Vinaigrette not only adds tanginess but also brings a richness that aligns with the overall theme of Italian cuisine, making it an ideal match for the Italian Salad.

In contrast, options like Caesar Dressing, Creamy Parmesan Dressing, and Ranch Dressing offer distinctly different flavor profiles that do not align with the salad's intended taste. Caesar Dressing tends to be richer and creamier, while Creamy Parmesan Dressing adds a heavy, cheesy profile. Ranch Dressing is typically herb and buttermilk-based, which would overshadow the fresh Mediterranean flavors in the salad. Thus, Italian Vinaigrette is the appropriate dressing that enhances the authenticity and flavor of the Italian Salad.
