Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional, for extra flavor)

- Add Parmesan and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, anchovy paste (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Optional Creaminess: If you want a creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix well.

Notes
- Make Ahead: Caesar dressing can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Customizing the Flavor: For a richer dressing, add more Parmesan cheese or a splash of cream. You can omit anchovy paste for a vegetarian version or adjust the garlic level to your taste.
- Serving Suggestions: Toss the dressing with fresh Romaine lettuce, croutons, and more grated Parmesan. It also works great as a dip for veggies or chips.
- Storage Tips: Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before using, as it may thicken slightly.
