Despite the long days that summer offers, it often feels like the time on the clock shrinks due to all of the activities, leaving little time or desire to cook. I lean on recipes like this one with a sauce that works double time as both a dressing and a marinade. If you prep it in advance, it should come together quickly on the night of serving. No stovetop needed!

If you prefer a chicken thigh, 1.5 lb. of boneless skinless chicken thighs can easily be subbed in for the butterflied chicken that is called for below.

If you’re looking for added crunch, I love scooping this up with tortilla chips as the ultimate method to consume a big, crunchy salad.
