Marvelous Melon

Marvelous Melon Salad
1 cup strawberries
1 cup blueberries
1 honeydew (or cantelope)
1/3 cup of honey
handful chopped mint
1/2 tsp. grated ginger (80/20...no ginger this time and it was still very good.)
Cut melon in half, remove the seeds and, using a melon baller, scoop out balls of flesh into a large bowl using a melon baller. Quarter the strawberries and simply wash the blueberries. Toss and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
Top with 1/3 cup of honey, a 1/2 tbsp of finely grated ginger
