Method
 

  1. Scoop the Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt, then stir gently until smooth and creamy.

  3. Grate the lemon zest over the mixture, releasing fragrant citrus oils, and gently fold in to distribute evenly.
  4. Toast the mixed nuts lightly in a dry skillet if desired, then chop them into small pieces for added crunch.
  5. Divide the yogurt mixture into two clear glasses or bowls, layering or spreading it evenly.
  6. Top each parfait with a handful of chopped nuts, a few edible flowers, and a drizzle of honey for sweetness and visual appeal.
  7. Garnish with additional mint leaves and edible flowers if desired, then serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and flavors.

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or plant-based yogurt. Feel free to experiment with different edible flowers and nuts for varied textures and colors.
