Grated zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Separate lettuce leaves, discarding damaged ones. Wash, wrap in paper towels and refrigerate until just before serving.
To make dressing, whisk together in a small bowl the lemon juice, olive oil, shallot and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
When ready to serve, place lettuce in a large bowl and lightly spoon the vinaigrette over the lettuce, lightly coating each leaf. Add the almonds and toss together. Arrange the greens in a circular pattern on four chilled salad plates plac- ing the largest leaves on the bottom and the smaller ones on top. Garnish each plate with crumbled blue cheese and serve immediately. Serves 4.
