- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For an even smoother texture, mash them into a paste using the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle.
Step 2
Finely chop the anchovy fillets. Add them to a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed garlic, mashed anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until smooth.
Step 4
Add the mayonnaise to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Step 5
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Step 6
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Shake or stir before serving.
Step 8
Serve drizzled over crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, and extra Parmesan, or store in the fridge for up to one week.
