Preparation

Step 1

1In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
2Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
3Adjust seasonings to taste.
4Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
5Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
6Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
7Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
