  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Anchovy Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and finely mince the garlic. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor.
  2. Combine the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Garlic and Cheese: Stir in the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese, blending them evenly into the mixture.
  4. Season and Adjust: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. While whisking continuously, drizzle in olive oil to create a luscious, smooth texture.
  5. Taste and Serve: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning or lemon juice as needed. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and garlic for brighter flavor.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese fresh instead of using pre-grated to avoid additives and improve taste.
  • Adjust salt carefully—anchovy paste and Parmesan add saltiness.
  • Whisk thoroughly to emulsify and keep dressing creamy and stable.
  • Chill dressing before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • Do not freeze as texture may separate.
  • No reheating needed; serve chilled or at room temperature.
