Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife, or crush them into a paste using the back of your knife blade.
On a cutting board, add the minced garlic and anchovy filets. Use the side of a knife to mash them together into a smooth paste.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic-anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, egg yolk, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. Whisk until the dressing is thick and creamy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for acidity or Parmesan for a creamier texture if desired.
Transfer the Caesar dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Drizzle the dressing over a Caesar salad and toss well to combine before serving.
