As a lifetime member of Cooking Club of America, I occasionally submit recipes. This is the latest and it was chosen for publication in the Spring issue.

This is the pic and recipe that was recently published.

'As a managing chef at a restaurant, Paula loves to introduce new recipes to her customers. In this hearty entree salad, which she makes for family and friends, Paula included two of her favorite salad add-ins, avocados & hard-cooked eggs. And she altered the traditional Caesar dressing. "I experimented to create one that didn't contain raw eggs," she says. '
