New "lighter" fare at Olive Garden

[HollyS]

OG has a new dish on their "550 and under" section of the menu. DH and I both had their Lasagna Primavera tonight. It was really quite tasty!!

We were surprised that a chain restaurant could make something taste almost decadent, while still keeping the calories down.

I'm thrilled to see this! When I visit my grandmother that is the only place she wants to eat, and if my 88 year old granny wants to go to Olive Garden, well dammit, we're going to Olive Garden. I'll try this dish next time we're there!

That is great. I know Applebees offers weight watchers meals. It is nice to see things like that on the menu. Thanks!

This is nice, but did you see the sodium content on that Olive Garden Dish, over 1700 mg which accounts for 74% of your daily allowance. I was able to reduce my blood pressure to 110/60 just by cutting out added sodium from my diet.
