But it's even better with a little feta, mint, and balsamic vinegar. Cucumber is a good addition there too.
Perfect summer salad. You can also do skewers, and even grill them.
I can get on board with a watermelon salad (feta, mint, salt, vinegar, etc) That sounds good, but if I'm just eating straight watermelon I'm gonna go purist with it.

Fair enough. I think it's perfect for really hot days if you're outside and sweating like crazy, but I get it.
Just like a few sprinkles of sea salt will do it too. I've definitely oversalted my watermelon before and it's just way too much

I get it. Watermelon is a diuretic, and the salt would be a good countermeasure. Maybe I salted my melon too much when I tried it, too...

You're not on one of those "no salt" gimmicks are you? Your body needs salt.
But I agree that HB eggs need hella salt.

I like salt on Kholorabi and radishes as well as watermelon. I’ve never tried it on an apple slice, maybe on a hard boiled egg. When I make eggs for breakfast I certainly salt them lightly.
I’m a big chicken wing guy. I love great sauce and nicely done wings. I’ve been making my own bacon for a few years now. I actually like sausage better, but I do love bacon.

TBH, I salt things like a motherfucker. I also use a lot of limes and lemons in cooking, often in place of salt, but often aside it as well. Both are really important for flavor.
I'd recommend watching(or reading, think it's a book too) Salt Fat Acid Heat on netflix. Salt is necessary for most cooking, but iirc, there's a difference between table salt and sea salt or kosher salt which you use for cooking - table salt being the most heavily refined and processed option out there.

Curious....do any of you salt-on-everything people (no offense intended) happen to be cigarette smokers?

Nah, not at all. And it's not salt on everything, it's salt on the important things. Meat(as well as pepper, before cooking it, as well as letting it sit at room temp for 30 min, maybe with some olive oil too depending on the cook method), water for pasta, etc.
The salt on watermelon thing is more of a quirk, I don't tend to salt sweeter things or fruit like that(maybe just a few grains of sea salt in hot chocolate, or a cup of espresso, which don't knock until you try a home made french pressed caramel macchiato), but I looove salted and grilled watermelon.

Understood. The meat, and pasta water is always important. I do the same, and put salt on a hell of a lotta things, but I just can't get into the salted fruit. Perhaps I'll give it another shot.

Everything i eat already has salt in it, cause i can taste it. Adding more isnt really necessary in my opinion. I feel like theres plently already and adding more would be over-kill

There ya go. Prepared foods have murderous amounts of added sodium.

Indeed. Fast food included. Home cooked meals definitely lack the sodium of other non-home made meals (unless its meat).

Homemade meals only lack sodium when you don't use salt. You're probably getting too much sodium if all you eat is prepackaged, and fast food. Be careful out there.

No doubt. But doesnt meat already have salt in it naturally?
I appreciate the concern about salt in my diet. And i also find it ironic it went from "not enough" to "too much". 
God i love Irony
