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 flavours 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.
