Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic into the bowl. Whisk until well combined.
If using anchovies, mince them finely and stir them into the dressing mixture for an extra depth of savory flavor.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. This will help to emulsify the dressing and create a luscious texture.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over your favorite salad greens, use as a dip for vegetables or breadsticks, or spread on sandwiches. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
