- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons garlic, minced

- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch pepper, ground
- 1 cup olive oil, pure

- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grtaed
- 12 cups romaine lettuce, torn, lightly packed (about 2 heads)

- 6 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for garnish
directions
- Put the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, egg yolk, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a blender and blend until well mixed.
- While the machine running, add the olive oil, by drops, as the mixture emulsifies, in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated.
- Pulse in the Gorgonzola to taste (the riper the cheese, the less you will need) and the Parmesan.
- Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. About 1 1/3 cups. (The dressing keeps, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.).
- Put the lettuce in a bowl with the chicken or shrimp, if using. Pour the dressing over and toss well.
