- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir them together until well blended and smooth.

- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.

Tips
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-grated cheese can be dry and less flavorful.
- Mince the garlic very finely or use a garlic press to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the dressing.
- For a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender or whisk vigorously to combine ingredients.
- Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you want a lighter version, you can substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with additional herbs like fresh basil or chives to customize the flavor profile.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings before final serving - everyone's palate is different!
