Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

No!!   Why?  All that extra salt is not good, but I do know people who do it.

Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

Yes! It tastes so much better with salt. And there's very few things I add salt to.

Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

No salt but sometimes lime juice.  I sometimes use salt and pepper on cantalope!

And I just made a great salad with fresh pineapple, lime juice, thin-sliced cucumber, cilantro and a bit of s & p.  Delish!!

Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

Yes always. Also put salt on tomatoes. That’s how we did it in Indiana!

Put salt on any fruit that is not ripe enough to be sweet!  Apples, oranges, cantelope, watermelon, strawberries, etc.  Take away the 'sour'.

 

Black pepper accentuates the sweet.  Great on strawberries!

No, not on watermelon.  On apples and rhubarb I salt.

Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

i heard about it.  Was informed I should really, really do it.  But I never did.  Maybe something in the water?  Who knows.....Something profound wouldn't let me do it.

Re: Do you put salt on your watermelon?

No I do not but what I understand is that the salt brings out the sweetness more.  Not sure about that since I've never tried it.

 

 

I've also seen recipes for grilled watermelon.

Yes, that is how we ate watermelon when I was growing up.
