3 tablespoons plain unsweetened organic dairy-free yogurt

1 1⁄2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup

For the salad

1 medium organic orange pepper, diced or matchstick cut

1 small organic yellow summer squash, quartered lengthwise and cut into thin slices

1 head organic green leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into bite-size pieces

1 cup organic blueberries

1 cup finely shredded organic red cabbage

1 medium organic purple carrot, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks

Directions

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well to combine. Taste, and add more salt, pepper, or maple syrup as desired.
Lay a bed of lettuce down on a large serving platter or in individual salad bowls. To create a rainbow, start at one edge and top the greens with rows of the vegetables in the following order: tomatoes, orange peppers, yellow summer squash, blueberries, red cabbage, purple carrot. Leave a space between the yellow summer squash and the blueberries to allow the greens to peek through. Top with the toasted pumpkin seeds and serve with a drizzle of dressing. Alternatively, toss all the vegetables with the dressing in a large bowl and top with the pumpkin seeds just before serving.
