Scrumptious marinated grilled chicken salad with creamy dressing and multigrain croutons. The ingredients for the chicken marinade are also used in the dressing, with the exception of fresh dill. So, while list looks long, the ingredients are repeated (if you have to buy them, might as well use them, right?).

directions
Whirl all dressing ingredients in mini food processor. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight if possible (for flavours to develop).
Whisk together all ingredients except chicken. Pour over chicken in large, heavy-duty, re-sealable plastic bag. Seal bag and turn several times to coat chicken with marinade. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight if possible.
Preheat grill to medium setting. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and place on a grill rack that has been coated with cooking spray or lightly brushed with oil. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the centre. Remove chicken from grill and slice into ½-inch thick slices.
To assemble salad, place torn lettuce, crumbled bacon, and croutons in a large salad bowl. Add dressing and toss well to distribute dressing evenly. Mound lettuce onto serving plates. Top with grilled chicken slices and freshly shaved Parmesan. Enjoy!
