Yield: About a cup

Ingredients

3/4 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or soy sauce

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients and whisk well to mix. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for 5-6 hours or overnight before using.
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Personal note: I added a bit of extra salt, about 1/2 tsp and maybe cut the sugar. 1/2 tsp extra pepper and 1tbsp Romano, grated. I used shakey cheese for the parm.

Chill the dressing well before serving for the best flavor.

Adjust the consistency with a little water or more mayonnaise, depending on your tastes.

Serve with crisp romaine lettuce and homemade croutons for a classic Caesar salad.

Garnish the salad with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

Try adding a bit of Worcestershire sauce for added flavor.

Try the dressing on different salads or as a dip for vegetables.

For a more pronounced anchovy flavor, omit the anchovy paste and add a minced anchovy fillet.
