Ingredients

For the dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise store bought, shelf stable mayo
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream reduced fat is fine
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove fresh garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1 fillet
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

For the salad

  • 6 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup garlic croutons of your choice
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese try to get a good one

Instructions

  • If using a bowl and whisk to blend your dressing, make sure to finely chop or mash your garlic and anchovy fillets so they will blend in smoothly. If you are using a food processor, you won't need to chop them first. 
  • In a food processor, add all the ingredients for the dressing except the olive oil. Process until very smooth--about 45 seconds or so. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the processor if needed. 
  • With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil until it's all incorporated. If using a bowl, whisk the dressing constantly and quickly while adding the olive oil. Taste to adjust seasoning if needed. 
  • Transfer to an air-tight container or toss with chopped romaine lettuce, croutons and grated parmesan cheese. If storing, your dressing will last about 5 days. Discard any leftovers after that time.
