I don't eat watermelon often, but I do like it. I've never heard of salting it, but would try it. I don't salt any fruit (I do tomatoes but is that a fruit?), but do like salt so would be ok with it.
I don't think it takes much. Cut a piece and sprinkle some salt on it. If you like it, great. If not, you've only wasted one piece.So how much salt and what kind of salt? Educate me. I'll give it a try.
I grew up near Philly and no one here salts watermelon. My parents were from Mississippi and salt almost everything from apples to cantaloupes. My dad would even salt grapefruit. Salted watermelon is one of my favorite foods.
Got a dozen years on you & I have never heard of salting plain watermelon or any fruit for that matter (Margaritas or in a recipe don't count). My family has put brown sugar on top of grapefruit to cut the tartness. Don't think it is a thing in South Jersey.This is the first I’ve ever heard of this, and I’m in my 40s.
.....that is an offense in the state of Oregon that will see you arrested. At one time Oregon lead the nation in strawberry production that required very little sugar, such was the sweet varieties that sustained 100's of children picking fruit in the summer for cannery processing.Pepper on strawberries too, with a bit of balsamic.
