But while miso paste takes the place of mustard and Parm in the dressing, the rest of the ingredients are standard—garlic, anchovy, and Worcestershire coat crinkly romaine leaves along with a generous pile of Parmesan and crunchy croutons. Bonus: Vegetarians can skip the anchovy fillet since miso adds ample salty depth to the dressing. Ingredients ½ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup white miso 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 anchovy fillet, finely chopped 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup croutons Directions Whisk together mayonnaise, white miso, olive oil, garlic, anchovy, white wine vinegar, pepper, Worcestershire, and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Add chopped romaine, Parmesan cheese, and croutons, and toss together. Serve immediately. Rate it Print
