Mary's Caesar Dressing

We all know and love Papa's Caesar Salad, but here is Mom/Mary's easier spin on the favored classic.  She has made it several times to RAVE reviews!!!

For 1 C dressing:

Juice of 3 limes* or 1/3 cup
1 t kosher salt
2/3 C olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 eggs, coddled
fresh ground pepper
dash Worcestershire sauce
1/4 C minced anchovy fillets (in oil, drained)

Combine lime juice and salt to dissolve salt, set aside. Combine oil, garlic, eggs, pepper, Worcestershire and anchovies.  Whisk juice and oil mixtures and alternately add to/toss salad until lettuce is coated. 

Before dressing lettuce, toss freshly grated Parmesan cheese (use best available) throughout leaves. For 10 servings, which dressing recipe will serve, 1 to 1 1/2 C of cheese is sufficient.

*Can use lemon, but lime is used in original Caesar dressing recipe (of Mexican origin!).
