I knew this comments would be "never heard of salt on melon" or the other half that they have always salted their melon. Personally I can eat it either way as it a melon, they delicious.
That sounds really good, but normal salted melon didn't vibe with me. Dedicating the melon to a savoury salad like you suggest is more lawful good though
This is kind of like salt and cayenne pepper on a mango. I thought it was crazy until I tried it. Salt on a watermelon is basically a electrolyte drink.
The mango thing is a street food, forgot where like salted watermelon, its for high heat places. Sodium, potassium, Magnesium, water, sugar. Natures Pocari Sweat/Gatorade.

My mouth salivates at melon cube salad with feta cheese, basil, chili and flakes of salt.

I did this as a snack for my two year old last weekend. He loved it.

I put salt on watermelon, it brings out the flavor more.

Imagine salt doing to food that thing it does to food.

Exactly, but lots of people are incredulous about the idea of salt on melon.
BilSabab@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d

They don't salt melons anymore?
BilSabab@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2d
why would you need to salt a melon? it's a melon
username_1@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 2d
Because it's even better with Morton salt?
BilSabab@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d
Morton Feldman salt or Morton Subotnick salt though?
cannedtuna@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2d
Because salt helps draw out the water in the fruit which makes it juicier and taste sweeter. Just a little bit does a lot for it.
Also sweet + salty is a great combo.

Tidbit: the slogan is because Morton said their salt wouldn't cake in high humidity.

Salted watermelon and cantaloupe is delicious, fresh cucumbers are way better with a little salt too.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d

But to each their own.

My mind went somewhere else with that since I recently watched an episode of The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System lol
