For dressing:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 1 1/2- to 2-pound whole live lobsters
2 large hearts of romaine, cut lengthwise in half
2 cups coarsely grated peeled celery root or parsnips
