    We really enjoyed this! I remembered, as I was putting this together, that I was out of ginger! So I used candied ginger which gave it a really nice flavor. We had this for dessert (with no ice cream) and we loved it. Think the sauce would be good on other fruit as well.

    Accepted your invitation to try this on other fruits and used a combination of apricots, plums and strawberries. I'm a little shy about the sweetness of honey but the lemon and ginger really kept the sweetness down and offered a nice contrast. I served mine on top of plain yogurt for breakfast and garnished with chopped crystalized ginger. Thanks!

    I liked this simple dessert and thought the flavors were excellent with an Asian meal. The ginger is bit strong. I will reduce it some next time. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

    This made a great summer dessert. The zingy warmth of the ginger complimented the sweetness of the rockmelon (cantaloupe). I didn't have a lime so doubled the orange zest, then cheated by adding a dash of lime extract. I heated the mix on the stovetop which made it caramelise slightly. This super quick recipe was an easy way to turn simple fruit into a "dessert".

    I prepared this using cantaloupe and honeydew melon. I didn't have any oranges on hand and omitted that zest. I like the flavor of the dressing, but my husband wasn't as big of fan. He felt the ginger was too strong.

    This was so easy and so quick to put together! It is really refreshing. I love trying all these new recipes on Zaar! I will serve this many times this summer!

    I loved the combination of lime and orange zest with the gingerrot. I did reduce the amount of honey by half and drizzled the mixture over a bowl of melon, peaches and bananas. This was served for breakfast and topped with some plain yogurt.
