Instructions

Add all of the ingredients, except the oil, parmesan and pepper, to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk to combine.
Slowly stream the oil into the mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
Add the parmesan and pepper and stir together until well combined.
Use immediately, or store in the fridge for 5-7 days. Makes about 1 ½ cups of dressing.

Notes

To make this dressing vegan. Use plant-based mayo instead of regular mayo, replace the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast, and either leave out the Worcestershire sauce or use a store-bought vegan version.
Stream in oil. Adding the oil slowly will ensure the ingredients whisk together smoothly and creates a thick and creamy dressing.
Thin out dressing. The dressing isn't overly thick, but if you prefer it thinner, just add 1-2 teaspoons of water.
Taste and adjust. Feel free to add more garlic, lemon juice, pepper or maple syrup to suit your taste. Note that there is no salt included in the ingredient list as the miso, Worcestershire sauce and parmesan already add plenty of salty flavor.
