# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Turns an elegant salad into something you can eat with one hand while your other hand holds a drink
  • The homemade dressing comes together in two minutes but tastes like it came from a restaurant
  • Grilled chicken stays juicy and lets you skip the oven entirely
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is non-negotiable, otherwise all those juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your sandwich
  • The dressing tastes better after it sits for even ten minutes, so make it while the chicken grills
  • Toasting the buns on the actual grill adds that irresistible smoky flavor you cant get from a toaster
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge for lunch wraps all week long
  • The dressing can be made three days ahead and actually gets better as the flavors meld
