- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste (if using).
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing over crisp Romaine lettuce, toss with croutons and additional Parmesan cheese, or use as a dip for vegetables.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
