Why This Salad is Perfect for Summer

It’s substantial enough to be a main course, yet light and fresh enough for those warm summer days when you want something satisfying but not heavy.
Tips for Success
Make the chipotle marinade and dressing ahead of time—both keep well in the refrigerator for several days. This makes weeknight dinners a breeze. You can also prep the salad components in advance and assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp. For the best flavor, use fresh herbs in the dressing, and don’t skip grilling the corn and chicken for that extra depth of flavor.
