Yes and I didn't like it. When I eat watermelon as dessert I want it
to be sweet, not salty. I'd be more open minded if it wasn't dessert.

People commonly eat cheese and apples together, pears and cheese too.
I've seen salad recipes with feta or ricotta salata and watermelon
together, it sounds intriguing - but watermelon and tomato in any form
doesn't sound appetizing at all. Maybe with the right dressing...
