Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad a New Way image

While the flavor will be good using leftover cold chicken in this recipe, the key to the specialness of the recipe and the great vibrant flavor of the salad, is to use warm, just-cooked chicken breasts and to place the warm, cooked chicken pieces IN the dressing instead of placing the dressing over the chicken. This technique adds a lot of flavor and works well with most any beef or shrimp salad recipe using a vinaigrette-type (not creamy) dressing as well.
