I have always loved having lunch in the cafe…so fresh and it feels good to eat such healthy food. I was in the Corona cafe last week and ate the Wild Salmon salad and thought I was in heaven!!! I would love to know how to make the dressing (miso dill vinaigrette). Also,
a recipe book might be a thought…
Thanks so much!
