1/4 European or seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped or snipped chives

Steps:

Cut goat cheese into 4 equal portions and reserve.
Divide the frisee among 4 plates. Scatter the cucumber, chives, tomatoes, nuts, onions and tarragon equally among the portions of lettuce. Crumble a 2-ounce portion of cheese over each salad.
