Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl; add to the
lentil mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly. If desired, chill before
serving.

Loomis writes: "This recipe is another treasure from Li Ochs of
Eureka Farm in eastern Washington. It's a big, hearty salad, full of
fresh herbs. And with its yogurt-based dressing it manages to be
light and sprightly, too."
