Dinner doesn’t have to feel like you’re struggling, just follow Lidia’s lead! First, it’s Kale Salad with Avocado & Pistachios, a best-selling salad at Felidia that became part of Lidia’s family meals at home. Then, Lidia makes her go-to sauce, Marinara, with her grandson, Ethan. And to complete this quick and easy meal, it’s Lidia’s no-mess Cheesy Baked Chicken Wings.
