Cheater Caesar Dressing

This salad dressing whips up in no time and will make you feel like a fancy chef!  Squeezing a lemon and pressing a garlic clove will each take you a few seconds but the payoff in fresh taste really kicks up the flavor exponentially.  That being said, if you hate garlic, leave it out.  If you love garlic, add another clove or two (as long as all of your guests are eating the same dressing!) If you have any leftover dressing, coat some chunky bread cubes with it and bake them until golden for some tasty croutons for your next salad.

Ingredients

2 T. lemon juice
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Whisk lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dijon, salt, pepper, garlic and mayonnaise until smooth.  Add olive oil to mixture in a steady stream while continuously whisking until well blended.  Stir in cheese.  Keep refrigerated.  Yield: 1 cup or 8 servings
