They’re actually peppercini’s, which is a sweeter pepper.
Stacey

The cheese is actually grated Romano cheese.

The peppers are supposed to be pepperoncini peppers and roma tomatoes sold at most grocery stores- Wal-mart, Kroger, Mejiers…etc. The dressing is sold at the Olive Garden Restaurant!

They use pepperoncelli peppers, not banana peppers.

banana pepper = sweet
pepperoncini = medium hot

I asked 2 different people at the Olive Garden what kind of cheese do the use and both said Romano. Just thought you would like to know.

Thanks for the update! ~Stephanie

I believe that Olive Garden’s salad has artichoke hearts in it?

I don’t think it has any artichoke hearts in it, but it sure would be tasty if it did have artichoke hearts in it.
