Fruit Salad with Papaya Poppy-Seed Sauce
<!--<b>Mindful Moment</b>
<br>-->There's nothing like summer to remind us of the glorious abundance of nature. <!--Place the ingredients on a counter and spend a few moments contemplating their freshness and beauty. Take note of how no two raspberries are identical, how a blueberry's pigment varies from purple to deep blue. Feel the soft fuzz of the apricot's skin, so different from the cool smoothness of the nectarine's. Get close. The world invites your attention.-->
