Ingredients
  

For the dressing
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 fillets anchovy finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon juice for zest

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chopped anchovies, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolk (or mayonnaise).
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking vigorously.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until well combined and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
  5. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week if not using it immediately.

Notes

Anchovies add depth without a strong fishy flavor. For a vegan option, substitute the egg yolk with silken tofu or extra mayonnaise. Feel free to adjust garlic levels based on personal preference.
