Preparation
STEP 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush halved romaine hearts with olive oil on both sides.

STEP 2

To make the dressing whisk together minced garlic, Dijon, capers, anchovy paste, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Gently stir in grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your taste preference.
