Cooking Tip
Don't like anchoviews?
If you are not a fan of anchovies it is ok to leave them out of the recipe. The only difference it makes is the level of saltiness in the dressing. But it is still great.

Cooking Tip
Save time with Parmesan Cheese
IF you don't have the time to grate fresh Parmesan on your own then it is an ok substitute to buy the pre shredded Parmesan that you can find in the cheese section of your local grocery store.
