In a small mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the bowl.
Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Season the mixture with freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture to emulsify the dressing.
Once the dressing is creamy and smooth, fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until well-incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, such as adding more lemon juice or pepper if necessary.
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve with your favorite salad.
