Planning the menu for an upcoming event? We’re sure your going to love some of this season’s most popular pairings. From completely classic to utterly unique, your guests will rave about the food long after the meal is over.
Appealing Appetizers
Prosciutto & Melon — This salty/sweet pairing makes for a deliciously refreshing (and easy to prepare) appetizer. Wrap melon with prosciutto and serve on skewers for an easy-to-eat treat.
Watermelon & Tuna Bites — Sweet compressed watermelon compliments spicy seared tuna perfectly. Top with an orange soy glaze for the perfect finish.
Crab & Avocado Tarts — Like avocado toast with a twist. Creamy avocado and tasty crab are nestled in flaky pastry shells for a zesty combo.
Surprising Salad
Strawberries & Balsamic Vinegar — This has been a favorite in Italy for decades. Balsamic vinegar brings out the sweetness in strawberries. Serve this duo in a salad or try something distinctive like strawberry shortcake that’s been marinated and grilled in balsamic vinegar.
Extraordinary Entrees
Peanut Butter & Burgers — When you add melted peanut butter to your beef patties, you’ll delight in the salty flavor addition. The PB actually makes the burgers juicer too.
Fried Egg & Burgers — Aussies have known about and enjoyed this combo for years. Make this match even yummier with additional toppings like pickled beets and grilled pineapple.
Fried Chicken & Waffles — While there’s some dispute about the origin of this pair (some say Harlem, while others claim it’s a southern dish) your guest will enjoy a crispy, sweet, spicy, and savory recipe all in one dish when you serve fried chicken and waffles.
Pork Chops & Apple Sauce — Zesty glazed pork chops smothered in apple sauce is a classic spicy/sweet match that never gets old.
Chicken & Peanut Sauce — Skewered and batter-fried chicken tenders are even more amazing when dunked in a rich, peanut dipping sauce.
Delicious Desserts
Lemon Bars with Honey & Thyme — The citrusy lemon bars combined with organic honey and thyme makes for a light and refreshing treat at the end of a meal.
Lemon & Lavender Shortbread Cookies — Tart lemon and slightly sweet lavender are the perfect addition to buttery shortbread cookie.
