In saucepan, stir mustard and pineapple juice until blended. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and honey; place over high heat and bring to a boil. Place chicken in a bowl and pour warm sauce over it; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Remove chicken from marinade. Place marinade in small saucepan and boil 3 minutes. Place chicken on prepared grill (or broiler rack) about 6 inches from heat. Cook, turning and basting with boiled marinade, about 6 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.

To assemble the salad, arrange lettuce on a plate; then add oranges, tomatoes, pepper rings and onion. Sprinkle with almonds and sesame seeds. Top with chicken tenders and spoon remaining marinade over all. Makes 6 servings.
