“To provide providently, we must practice the principles of provident living: joyfully living within our means, being content with what we have, avoiding excessive debt, and diligently saving and preparing for rainy-day emergencies. When we live providently, we can provide for ourselves and our families and also follow the Savior’s example to serve and bless others.” –Elder Robert D. Hales

Food Item Suggestions: .5 lbs of peanut butter, .25 quarts salad dressing (

One day at Olive Garden, while savoring the salad my mom said, "I think I know how to make this."  She then made her version of the salad.  My family and relatives have used this salad at many fancy occasions (and not so fancy occasions).  It is one of my most requested recipes.  I thought I would share it with you. 

P.S.   It also makes a great marinade.

Serves 8-10

For dressing, take one packet of Good Seasons Italian dry dressing mix and make according to package directions, using olive oil. Instead of the vinegar, use the juice from a bottle of Italian pepperoncini. Use your choice of salad greens, especially romaine lettuce. Also include black olives, croutons, pepperoncini, and freshly grated romano or parmesan cheese. An optional but good addition is thinly sliced onion, especially vidalia onions when they are in season.
