For the most authentic flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust the amount of anchovy paste to your preference. If using anchovy fillets, be sure to mince them very finely to avoid any large pieces in the dressing. The dressing will thicken slightly as it chills. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors. Serve over crisp romaine lettuce with croutons and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a few freshly cracked black peppercorns.
