1. To make the Dressing: Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a bowl whisk together garlic paste, lemon juice, vinegar, zest, and pepper and whisk in oil until emulsified. (Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring dressing to room temperature before serving.)

5. Peel carrots and finely shred with a mandolin or other manual slicer or in a food processor. Halve onion lengthwise and slice very thin crosswise.
6. Arrange vegetables and anchovies decoratively on platters and in serving bowls sprinkling with swiss cheese and pour dressing into a cruet.
