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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic into the bowl. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

If using anchovies, mince them finely and stir them into the dressing mixture for an extra depth of savory flavor.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. This will help to emulsify the dressing and create a luscious texture.

Step 5

Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

If the dressing is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

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.
