Odd Combinations

Carrots. Spinach. Tomatoes. Those are usually the things that I find myself putting in my salads every single day. But I'm finding that because I've been changing up my normal egg and toast breakfast meals I've been craving more variety through out the day.

Enters sugar snap peas and lime. Odd combination right? Not in this case. This Green Goddess Salad is made of a spring mix, cilantro, sugar snap peas, edamame and lime zest.

The lime zest and the snap peas balance the perfect sweet and sour flavor. Just a little lime juice on top of the cilantro and edamame brightens the whole salad and adds a cultural flavor.

Enters Coconut Oiled Sweet Potato Rounds with Nutmeg and Cayenne. Odd combination right? Strangely, no. The sweet but slightly bitter flavor of the nutmeg balances out the sweet starchy flavor of the sweet potatoes and the cayenne gives it a kick.

What odd combinations have you tried lately?
