Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until frothy.
Gradually drizzle olive oil into the mixture while whisking vigorously to thicken the dressing.
Incorporate the anchovy paste, grated parmesan cheese, grated garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cracked black pepper into the dressing. Mix well and add salt to taste. Set aside.

Notes

For a creamier dressing, add more olive oil up to 3/4 cup.
Feel free to substitute fresh lemon juice with lime for a different citrus twist.
The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but the dressing can be refrigerated for a few days.
