Prepare the vinaigrette and place the required amount (adding the mustard if you are using it) in the salad serving bowl. A nice twist is to substitute 1/4 of the olive oil with walnut oil.
Heat a ridged grill pan or cleaned BBQ over a high heat. BBQ the vegetables until lightly cooked (about 3 minutes on each side). Remove and place straight into the large bowl with the vinaigrette tossing while you go. Lastly BBQ the chicken until just cooked (about 2 minutes on each side and mix.
Mix the endive, tomatoes and basil into the vegetable and chicken and lightly toss. Serve immediately while it still warm with a good squeeze of the lemon or lime wedges. Accompany with walnuts and grilled haloumi on the side.
