I grew up in Texas eating so much watermelon. We had this amazing fruit stand, and the workers would cut kids slices of watermelon while our parents shopped. It was off I-10 in Houston on the way west end – someone in Houston DM me and tell me that its still there please!! My grand dad would walk around thumping watermelons and we would laugh at him. He would then select the watermelon with the best thump, take it home and either put on ice or clear a spot in our refrigerator. Then after dinner, he would take it out of the fridge and slice us huge triangles of beautiful red watermelon. My grandparents weirdly ate theirs with a sprinkle of salt on it. I thought it was so weird. I totally get it now. That savory hint of salt brings the sweetness of watermelon to another level. This watermelon recipe, is totally based off my weird grandparents. You will love it.
