This was yummy! I didn't use it for a salad but served it with roasted cauliflower and cucumber salad. I love the combination of spices and the liquid smoke just takes it to a new level. It is definitely better than grilled chicken served at most restaurants. Thank you.

This is an absolutely delicious marinade for both chicken and pork. I make this up in a gallon storage bag and add one or two pounds of chicken tenders before freezing; they cook quickly when thawed and are perfect for cutting up into salad.
