This gorgeous salad is all about high-impact, low-effort ingredients. Precooked lentils, commonly sold in supermarket produce sections, require zero boiling, while smoked trout only needs to be broken into pieces. (Cooked salmon would work here too.) Mustard-flecked vinaigrette unites these ingredients with tomatoes and cucumber, and it’s all served on a garlicky spread of yogurt and tahini.

In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, tahini, garlic, and ¼ tsp of the salt until well blended. Spread the yogurt mixture into an even layer on a large platter.
