1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely grated or minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

3. Fold in finely grated Parmesan cheese until the dressing thickens.
4. Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Taste and adjust as needed.

Taste the dressing with a romaine leaf—not a spoon—to check balance.
