This grilled chicken salad is literally the easiest dinner salad to make. The balsamic dressing is what I like to unglamorously call a dump and shake dressing. Dump the ingredients into a jar, seal the lid, and shake shake shake. So easy!

Since the dressing double duties as a balsamic marinade for the chicken, once you dump and shake you've nearly finished dinner.

Let the balsamic marinated chicken hang out on the BBQ for 15 minutes then toss everything together and eat dinner. See how easy that was?
