This is not at all unusual in Mexico, and the mixture may include salt but doesn't have to. It might be a little exotic in more northern climes.
Good on about any sort of melon, really.

I usually take a fresh chili pepper, sprinkle with salt then take a pestle to crush them together. Taste great with any fruits that are lacking a bit sweetness or just because, hehe. Thinking of buying those tamarind powder flavor packets. Plentiful down in the south.
