Ingredients

10 oz (300 g) chicken tenders
1/2 tbsp (7 mL) canola oil
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
1 pkg (5 oz) fresh baby spinach leaves (about 5 cups/1.25 L), washed and dried
1/2 small cantaloupe (11/2-2 lbs/700 g-1 kg), seeded
12 oz (350 g) fresh strawberries
3/4 cup (175 mL) fresh blueberries
1 seedless cucumber

3 tbsp (45 mL) sugar
2 tbsp (30 mL) apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) water
3/4 tsp (4 mL) poppy seeds
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dry mustard
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt

Directions

Heat Grill Pan and Grill Press over medium heat 3-5 minutes. In small bowl, toss chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken in pan; cover with Grill Press. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from pan; set aside.
Arrange spinach on serving platter. Leaving rind on, place melon flesh-down onto cutting board; slice into 8 wedges. Holding wedges by the rind, carefully shave fruit into ribbons with Serrated Peeler (see tip) to measure about 1½-2 cups (375 -500 mL).
Remove stems from strawberries. Slice with Egg Slicer Plus®; set aside.
For dressing, combine ingredients in Measure, Mix & Pour®; mix until blended.
Slice chicken into thin strips. Top spinach with melon ribbons, strawberries and blueberries. Cut cucumber crosswise into 3-in. (7.5-cm) pieces. Using Spiral & Slice, spiral cut cucumber over the top of salad. Snip longer ribbons with Professional Shears. Top with chicken and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Cook's Tips:

Use gentle pressure to shave the melon wedges from end to end. The edges of the Serrated Peeler glide through the melon to make beautiful ribbons!
