During the summer, I hydrate a ton—with watermelon. I binge on it like it's nobody's biz; is there anything more refreshing on a hot summer day? Nope. I love having some sliced in the fridge for whenever I need a cool-down snack for myself or friends.

But after I slice it I do one very simple thing: I season the watermelon with salt. I know, I know, it might sound odd to sprinkle a watery fruit like melon with salt, but think about why the classic Italian pair of prosciutto and cantaloupe works so well; prosciutto is salty AF.

A small sprinkle of salt doesn't just offer a salty-sweet kick, it also brings out the sweetness in the watermelon, making this the perfect hack for when you dig into a lackluster slice. Trust me, I've had people FREAK over this simple trick; it's a game-changer.
