    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon water
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 canned anchovy fillets, drained and chopped

    Salad:
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika
    Dash of ground red pepper

    8 cups torn romaine lettuce
