Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 Anchovy fillets
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. First, finely mince the garlic cloves and anchovy fillets. Make sure they are well-chopped to incorporate smoothly into the dressing.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic and anchovies, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until the ingredients are well blended.
3. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. This will help emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
4. Grate the Parmesan cheese finely and add it to the mixture. Stir until the cheese is evenly mixed.
5. Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine all the flavors.
6. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that anchovies and Parmesan are salty, so adjust accordingly.
7. For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to further blend the dressing until it's creamy.
8. Transfer the dressing to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before using.
