2 cups cubed cantaloupe and/or honeydew melon
1 cup finely chopped cucumber
1 cup finely chopped zucchini
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons salad oil
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro or mint
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 cups shredded leaf lettuce
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (10 ounces)
