I marinated the chicken in balsamic vinegar, smashed capers and olive oil for two hours before grilling. I drizzled some of the dressing onto my salad with a fork. My husband thought the dish was flavorful enough without it! So next time I will only make half the amount of dressing suggested. Delicious, fast and beautiful. Will definitely make again.
