Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup sliced fresh ginger (from one 4-inch piece)
4 tablespoons honey
Zest of 1 lime plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
8 cups 1-inch watermelon cubes (about 1/2 small seedless watermelon)
1/2 cup shredded and sweetened coconut
1 cup blueberries

Steps:

Combine the ginger, honey and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat and let sit until cooled to room temperature. Drain, discarding the ginger, and stir in the lime juice.
Put the watermelon in a large bowl, and add the ginger-honey syrup. Cover and refrigerate to chill, at least 1 hour up to 4 hours, tossing the watermelon occasionally.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut out on a baking sheet, and bake until lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes; let cool.
When ready to serve, drain most of the liquid off the watermelon. Add the blueberries and lime zest, and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
