- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon Colmans dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch pieces
- Make the dipping sauce: Using a whisk, beat the sugar, dry mustard, salt, vinegar, onion, canola oil, and poppy seeds in a bowl until well combined.
- Spoon the dip into a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
- Prepare the fruit: Toss the apples, pears, and bananas with the fresh lemon juice in order to prevent browning.
- Arrange the pineapple, cantaloupe, apples, pears, and bananas on a large platter, leaving room in the center for the bowl of dipping sauce.
- Place the dipping sauce in the center of the platter and serve.
