Baba Wawa Fruit Salad, by Em

This fruit salad is total inspired by your and my favorite newscaster, Barbara Walters.  I would never have thought to add the ginger otherwise and since she announced how much she liked watermelon and ginger on a national news show, I don't feel at all bad about crediting her here.

Ingredients:

1/4 medium sized watermelon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 or 3 bananas (depending on their size), chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 pint strawberries, chopped
1/2 cantaloup, chopped
approx. 1/2 cup lemon juice
2-3 Tb minced ginger
1 cup sugar

Directions:

So in case you can't tell, most of this "recipe" is just chopping.  Once you're done with all the prep work, throw everything in together and enjoy!!  The lemon juice is to stop the fruit from browning.  These are the fruits I used, but feel free to use whatever floats your boat.  A lot of fruit is on sale right now, so this is the perfect time to make this dish.

Variations:

When changing up the fruit, don't forget avocados, which are berries but are easy to forget about when making a traditional fruit salad.
