3 to 4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce or cayenne pepper to taste

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

To make the dressing, add first five ingredients to a blender. With the

blender running, gradually add oil. Add 1/4 cup cheese and season to taste with

about 3 minutes. Drain, cool under water and drizzle with dressing, croutons

and remaining cheese.
