To serve, Lay cucumbers, salad mix, and tomato strips on a plate to make a "nest". Place shrimp & chicken on top of nest and drizzle with dressing.
To make dressing, heat olive oil in pan. Add onions, and tarragon and sauté for 1 minute. Add white wine, cook for one minute, then remove from heat. Chill slightly. Whisk in yogurt, Lemon Juice, then slowly drizzle in Olive oil. Dressing will emulsify as you drizzle in olive oil.
