This gorgeous red fruit salad tastes equally well chilled or at room temp; in fact, it gets better as it sits, allowing the fruit time to absorb the flavors of the ginger, lime juice, and mint with the grated ginger adding surprising heat. We call it strawberry salad, but there's also a nice amount of watermelon mixed in too. The recipe calls for using a melon baller to scoop out the melon, but you can just as easily cut it into bite-size cubes.
