Mrs. G'S Best Caesar Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino cheese, plus
additional thinly shaved pecorino cheese, for serving (optional)
1 anchovy fillet, drained, plus
anchovy fillet, for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 small garlic cloves, boiled for 30 seconds, smashed
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
3 large romaine lettuce hearts or 1 lb romaine lettuce hearts, chilled, leaves left whole
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

In a blender, combine the mayonnaise with the 3 tablespoons of grated pecorino, 1 anchovy and the water, lemon, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Process until smooth. (note, you can smash or put the garlic through the press. The garlic is boiled for 30 seconds just to take some of the \"bite\" out of the raw garlic, especially since there's a good amount of garlic.).
In a large salad bowl, toss the romaine with the dressing and season with black pepper. Garnish with pecorino shavings and anchovy fillets and serve right away.
