Ensalada Roja con Pollo (Red Salad with Chicken)

Submitted by: Laurie Gonzales

Living In: Bremerton, Washington, USA

My Venezuelan mother-in-law taught me to make this chicken salad. Don't let the 'red' part, which comes from beets, scare you away! I usually just throw this together with however much I have of the ingredients, so trying to figure out measurements is a challenge.

Chilean Dobladitas

Submitted by: Barbara P.

Living In: Quillota, Valparaíso, Chile

Chilean cuisine is as varied as the terrain of the country itself. The breads of Chile are celebrated for their diversity of shape, flavor, and texture. Dobladitas are a Chilean quick bread, rolled out, cut into circles, and folded in layers before baking. They are tender and flaky when served warm out of the oven.
