Notes
Note 1: Anchovy paste is usually found in a tube near the condiments or canned fish. If you skip it, the dressing will lose some depth. Add a little extra salt to make up for it.
Note 2: For the best flavor and salad dressing texture, use a block of Parmesan and grate it with a zester/microplane. If using pre-grated cheese (which is more tightly packed), start with 3 tablespoons and adjust as needed.
Storage: Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. Stir or shake before using—separation is normal.
