Putting salt on watermelon was more common when I was young. I also used to put salt on apples. I don't like either now but the apples and salt were better than the watermelon and salt I thought.

 

Never put anything on cantaloupe. Interesting fact.

Yes, absolutely we were raised with that option. Must say I'm very glad I got over it...

Most in my family like salt on their watermelon 🍉 but I still don't care it and never will .

When I lived in Arkansas, they ate salt on green strawberries!  Pretty good.

 

I like salt on watermelon that isn't as ripe as I prefer.

 

Great on green oranges!

I love it either way!  It improves one if it is a little less than fabulous, but the best of the best just need a knife or a fork!  That's all!  And ME!!!!  

 

Ever see a horse eat a watermelon?  Now that is my definition of a party!  Oh my what a mess.

i was raised eating salt on all melons and tomatoes.  On melons the more salt the better they taste.

I always had salt on fruit growing up...watermelon, peaches, oranges, apples, nectarines, tangerines but I only do it now when fruit has a dry mealy texture.

When we had the koi pond I used to feed the fish watermelon. When they heard me open the door they would line up at the end of the pond wiggling and carrying on to hope they got theirs first! (without salt!)

Not sure I ever put it on watermelon as I haven't had it in a long time. I have, though, put it on cantaloupe and also on apples.
