Make the dressing (Caesar)
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan. Add salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon or mustard if desired.
