4 tsp. wildflower honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 1/2-inch slices each red and yellow seedless watermelon, chilled

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger and honey until honey dissolves. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Dressing can be covered and refrigerated up to 2 hours.

Pare rind from melon slices. Cut melon into thin, 4-inch triangles.
