- Separate the lettuce leaves. Cut crosswise into pieces, wash well and spin dry.
- Shave the Parmesan with a potato peeler or grate it.
- In a blender purée garlic and anchovies with lemon juice. With blender still running, add oil in a stream until dressing is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Good and simple, and definitely reminiscent of a Caesar salad. Open to lots of different variations if you want. Thank you for posting this! - 07 Dec 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Very simple, yet delicious dressing. I use the dressing on all sorts of salads - I like anchovies. Even if you do not like anchovies, you may like this because they are blended into the dressing. The acidity of the lemon juice balances the anchovies' saltiness. I do not always use the Parmesan cheese - in combination with the anchovies, it adds additional salt. You might try cutting back on both the anchovies and the cheese if you wish to include both. - 25 Aug 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I just made this and it's very good. It's quick and easy and tastes like light caesar salad. I added more garlic and lemon juice to the dressing. It really improved the taste. Thank you for the recipe. - 09 Nov 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
