Summer Fruit Salad with Ginger Mint Lime Dressing

Chop a mix of fruit to bite-sized pieces. You can use any fruit that is in season & locally available for this recipe. Here's what i'm using today:

Nectarines
Honeydew melon
Pineapple
Grapes
Papaya
Mangoes
Kiwi
Berries of all sorts - blackberries, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries

Grate some ginger really fine. Squeeze lemon juice into this ginger & leave aside for a couple hours. Squeeze the ginger lime juice through a strainer. Add finely chopped (chiffonade style)mint & basil to the chopped fruit. add the ginger lime dressing. add a slosh of framboise or orange liquer to spike things up a bit. Allow to chill for 1-2 hrs before serving. Garnish with mint leaves/sprigs.
