INSTRUCTIONS
Put lentils and chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat;
bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a slow boil until the lentils
are softened but still firm to the bite, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the
lentils, transfer to a large bowl, and cool to room temperature.
Mince tarragon leaves and add them, with the turkey breast, red onion,
celery and parsley to the cooked lentils. Mix gently.
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."
