To make the anchovy dressing, first blend together the anchovies and water until they form a smooth cream
Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the blender while it’s running – as you would for a mayonnaise – until it reaches an emulsified texture
Transfer the anchovy dressing to a piping bag to make it easier to handle
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar, then stir in the chives, walnuts and shallots
When you’re ready to build the salad, place the chicory on a plate, lightly dress with the vinaigrette and then pipe the anchovy cream on top (taking care to not overdress it)
Top with shavings of the manchego cheese and chopped piparras. Finish with chervil and dill cress
