Do you put salt on melons?

[latenight71]

Never at all in my life have I seen or heard of anyone salting a melon. Mexican fruit on a stick - typically mango - gets tajin or some spice and heat. but I've never done anything to melon but cut it and eat it. maybe you'all are eating crappy melon. get yourself some Sugar Kiss melon and you won't need to dry brine your fruit to eat it, perhaps.

Black diamond melons are the move

Watermelon yes, cantaloupe no. Don’t think I’ve tried that before.

I have these electrolyte packets that I add to water, various flavors, they would be good added to fruit mixes. Heck, I’ve even found drink recipes for them.

one of the greatest things I discovered when I visited Rome, was that every single restaurant had melon and ham as an appetizer. Salt on a melon is good, but melon with thin sliced ham is amazing!!!

Nope. I will try it though.

I have salted pineapple

I’m bumping this so we have three "salt" posts in a row. 🙄

Yes, every time I can. I was just eating some fresh cantaloupe with a sprinkling of salt. I do the same with watermelon. I learned it from my grandma while visiting at her cabin long ago.

Yes... Had fresh cantaloupe a couple times this week all with a coating of table salt.

[Texas Larry]

Yes.

Tajín!!!!

[jayjordan]

Yep. Learned that salting watermelon is the way to go as a kid, sitting on the back porch with a slice and salt shaker, spitting seeds out into the yard.

I’ll add salt and a little bit of pepper on cantaloupe.

I salt watermelons, cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwi, tomatoes, cukes, radishes, beer and ice cream.

Sounds pretty doggone delicious, Draznnl . Hope you like the bit of flaked salt that you'll add to that yummy ice cream choice.

[SheilaAnn]

I do t think it will be bad at all! Speaking of Talenti, their salted caramel is rather tasty!

[Draznnl]

I had a little salt on the Double Dark Chocolate. It was great. Thanks for the tip, @fzxdoc
