Because it is soluble.

Salt is comprised of two different elements (Na-sodium and Cl-chlorine) through an ionic bond. When the salt hits the water, the ionic bonds slowly start to break down and you are left with the ion Na+1 and Cl-1 that float freely in the water.

Furthermore, as long as the solution isn't saturated yet, you can't see the salt particles because there are more water molecules than salt molecules. The salt molecules squeeze in the space between water molecules.
