To prepare the dressing: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; when it is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the anchovy fillets, garlic and walnuts and cook until all are golden and lightly toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, buttermilk, green onions, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. To finish the salad: Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl. Pour the warm dressing over the lettuce, add 1 1/2 cups croutons, the Roquefort and Parmesan. Toss well and serve immediately.
