Butter Lettuce Salad with Parmesan Tuiles and Almonds

Butter lettuce is crisp and refreshing, the perfect foil for a parmesan-rich dressing. Although this salad is delicious on its own, the crispy tuiles take minutes to make and are well worth the effort. Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes. Notes: For best flavor, don't use already-grated parmesan for this recipe; buy a chunk and grate it yourself, preferably with a razor-sharp grater, such as Microplane. If you're nervous about using an undercooked egg in the dressing, seek out in-shell pasteurized eggs, available at many grocery and natural-foods stores. The salad dressing can be made a day ahead and kept, covered, in the refrigerator. Tuiles can also be baked a day ahead; store them in a tight-sealing container in a cool, dry place so they stay crisp.
