Tips & Notes
- •For a creamier dressing, use a blender or immersion blender to emulsify the ingredients.
- •If you don't have anchovies, you can substitute a few drops of fish sauce (ensure it's gluten-free).
- •Make sure to dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly, otherwise the dressing won't adhere properly.
