MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY HOUSE SALAD

From the restaurant chain. I just had it in FL and it was so delicious. Couldn't stop eating it. I got the recipe on-line. I made it with 1 cup (not 2 cups of oil)for the dressing and it was perfect. Also, I have used just Romaine and it was delicious too. Splenda can sub for sugar.

MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY CHOP SALAD



Maggiano's Little Italy Chop Salad image

I tried this last night at Maggiano's and loved it. I prepared this and to my delight found that it is a pretty good imitation of the original. This is a modification of a recipe I found on Recipe Goldmine. I would suggest making "Recipe #239502" instead of pan frying prosciutto, but either works.

Credit goes to Maggiano's & Oolala's recipe#166435. This is perfect for just about any side salad. I adjusted the ingredients to suit our tastes, I like the added tang from the vinegar. Posted for my own safe keeping so I don't have to rely on my bad memory for the adjusted ingredient amounts! :D

MAGGIANO SALAD



Maggiano Salad image

This recipe is adapted from Recipe #166435. I made some changes in my review and wanted to save them completely on here. My husband and I go to Maggiano's often and can't get enough of this salad. I make this at home all the time... sometimes as a meal in itself or a salad wrap, or salad in a pita. This salad is soooo sooooo good! I hope you enjoy it too! Updated: I halved the dressing because the original makes much more than you need.
