Ingredients

Method

In large bowl, whisk together orange rind and juice, oil, basil, mustard, salt and pepper; pour 1/2 cup (125 mL) into large shallow dish. Add chicken, turning to coat; marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Place chicken on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing crosswise.

Meanwhile, peel, seed and cut cantaloupe into wedges; add to grill. Close lid and cook, turning halfway through, until grill-marked, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, to dressing in bowl, add greens, carrot, celery, croutons and cashews; toss to coat. Divide among plates. Top with chicken and cantaloupe.
