Cheddar Cheese and Apple Pie
A classic American combination, cheddar cheese and apple pie are a constant fixture on diner menus across the Midwest.
Cheese on apple pie dates to the 18th century as an American take on a 17th-century British tradition of mixing cream into fruit pies.
Banana and Bacon
Both beloved breakfast foods, banana and bacon have so much potential.
Try combining these two inside a sweet and savory breakfast crepe with a sprinkle of pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Cottage Cheese and Pineapple
I was surprised to see so many credulous spectators for this food combination because I happen to eat it for breakfast a few times a week.
The combination of creamy and sour cottage cheese with acidic and sweet pineapple is the height of deliciousness.
Plus, it’s one of the healthiest combinations you can eat.
Mango and Chili Powder
Another winning combination from Mexico, mango and chili powder is as commonplace as drizzling hot sauce over popcorn.
Every fruit vendor serves fresh mango with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkling of chili powder.
Prosciutto and Melon
A common appetizer in Italian cuisine, prosciutto and melon combine sweet and savory with grace and elegance.
The vibrant presentation is as enticing as it is delicious.
Watermelon and Feta
Another European favorite, watermelon and feta is a popular summer salad often topped with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
An age-old tradition in households worldwide is to salt slices of watermelon to accentuate their flavor.
Chocolate and Avocado
While you may associate avocados with salty and tangy foods like guacamole and avocado toast, avocados also pair well with sweet foods.
A case in point is chocolate. Avocados are as creamy and fatty as butter, so they make perfect substitutes for plant-based desserts like a chocolate mousse or chocolate pudding.
Blueberries and Steak
Steak is as heavy and rich as food gets, and blueberries lie at the opposite end of the spectrum.
They say opposites attract, and this unlikely combination of flavors gives credence to this adage.
