At a demo for Whole Foods Philadelphia in Center City Philly, Spring Thyme Herbs whipped up two easy recipes for customers to try! We offered crackers with a cream cheese base, topped with chopped rosemary, mint, and edible flower petals! We also offered a watermelon salad with feta, mint, and a light lime vinaigrette. Both recipes (listed below) are perfect for summer and almost look too pretty to eat!
Pictured below is our lovely assistant, Jessica, who helped immensely with preparing the samples!
Watermelon, Mint, Feta Salad with Lime Vinagrette
