About This Recipe

"I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't
be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! ---
although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly
be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the Photo by LifeIsGood
half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets
stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a
long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are
serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use
*only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to
this salad see my Kittencal's Garlic Croutons-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat
mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad"

I ngredient s
1 large head romaine lettuce ( washed over and thoroughly dried)
1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons ( or to taste, see recipe#125034)
parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper ( to taste)

DRESSING
2 anchovy fillets ( or to taste)
2 fresh garlic cloves ( or to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise ( not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard ( Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce ( or to taste) (optional)
buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning

Directions
1. In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until
finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other
ingredients).

2. Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
3. Adjust seasonings to taste.
4. Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
