Dressing:  
6 Anchovy filets (canned type)

2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Cups Grated Parmesan cheese
3 Tbsp Red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp Lime juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
6 Dashes Tabasco sauce

1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
½ Cup Olive oil
½ Cup Canola oil
   
Salad:  
6 Cups Romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  Homemade croutons
  Shredded parmesan cheese to garnish

Combine everything except oils in a food processor and blend until smooth.  With machine running, slowly pour in oils in a slow and steady stream.  Mixture will emulsify and thicken.  Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

Toss with crisp, clean romaine and garnish with homemade croutons and shredded Parmesan cheese!
