slo’s MONDAY poll - Watermelon - Salt it vs Not Salt It

[slo]

Do you put salt on your watermelon?


For Me......I never put salt on my watermelon

 

[ronandannette]

I’ve never seen anybody salt it and it wouldn’t occur to me to try it myself. A perfect cool, crisp, sweet and juicy slice of watermelon is one of the exquisite little pleasures that make life worth living.

I put salt on all melons -- watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. It brings out the flavor.

 

[Immadismom]

I never knew salting watermelon (or any melon) was a thing until I moved to the south. Many people do it here. I have never tried it and can’t see myself trying it.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I rarely do watermelon, however when I do I would not put salt on it.

 

[NAB]

I’m not a fan of watermelon.

My grandpa used to put salt on his apple.

It’s delicious with salt (cantaloupe too) and we used to always salt it growing up. It’s also good without salt and I don’t need extra salt, so I mostly eat it without now. But occasionally I’ll salt a little piece for a treat. (Mmmm..)

 

[Meriweather]

No salt. I try not to add much salt to anything.
My father used to salt his watermelon.
Other than him, I have never seen anyone salt it.

I never salt it. It is not that I don't like it or because I don't want the extra salt. I don't just because it is not something we ever did growing up and don't have a reason to start now.

I know other do salt it.

I never had heard of salting watermelon until reading it here a number of years ago (I learn a lot here). I tried it and it was good, enhancing the sweet flavor. Go figure. I use very little, holding my plate or bowl up to the kitchen window light so I can see how much (little) I'm putting on. Very little. But it does taste good. Still, sometimes I do not salt.

I agree.

 

[dclpluto]

Never tried it with salt and never will. Most Americans including myself get way too much sodium in the first place. Love watermelon just how it is.

 

[Kitty 34]

Never did salt watermelon; actually never heard of it.

 

[fly girl]

Watermelon is awful with or without salt! LOL

Do not like it. Texture, mostly. Crunchy sugar water. Yuck.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I don't like salt on my watermelon, but weirdly, I had a watermelon and feta cheese salad at a restaurant once and it was delicious.

 

[WorldWacky]

Other. I am one of those few people who doesn’t like watermelon at all. I WANT to like it. Everyone else seems to enjoy it so much on a hot, summer day, but I never do. I do, however, like salt. So for me, it would be salt without the watermelon!

 

[TippyThomas]

I salt any melon I eat.

 

[Deb & Bill]

I adore watermelon. Just bought one yesterday and ate it for breakfast yesterday and today. So good.

Other: HADES TO THE NO!!!!
