Instructions

Make your dressing in a food processor or blender by combining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons capers, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ground mustard, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, and 2 ounces anchovies. Blend until smooth.

Stir in 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Rip or chop 4 medium romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large serving bowl.

When ready to serve, drizzle with half of the dressing and toss to coat. Add in 2 cups plain croutons and toss with the remainder of the dressing. Top with 1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese, season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
