Recipe: Herbed Up Melon Salad

by Carolyn Hasenfratz

This will spice up your breakfast a bit!

Go the garden and pick a double handful mixed selection of whatever you have in your garden from this list:

Leaves:
Bee Balm (Monarda), Lemon Balm (Melissa), Peppermint (Mentha), Korean Hyssop (Agastache Rugosa), edible wild Violet (Viola), Basil, Borage (young leaves)

Flowers:
Edible Hibiscus, Dandelion (discard calyx), edible Roses, edible wild Violet (Viola), Borage

Chop a melon and put pieces in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and agave nectar. Top with chopped herbs and flowers. If you have any discarded stems, use them to flavor your morning tea!
