Fruit Salad with Lemon–Poppy Dipping Sauce

A platter of fresh fruit served with this lemony dip is a beautiful way to kick off brunch. This fruit salad can also be made into fruit kebobs for a different appearance. Just cut slightly bigger chunks and skewer the fruit onto bamboo skewers. You can prepare the fruit and the dip early and have this all ready when guests arrive.

I find that the onion adds a surprising savory flavor, but it’s not at all overpowering.
