Sweet but salty

Lemon crisp biscuits are my all time favourite, with the sweet inner encased in salty, moreish bikkies. Perfect.

But since the Superbowl celebrations earlier this week, I’ve been enjoying another sweet but salty treat. Peanut butter cups. Similarly, they hit the spot in the sweet stakes, but have a hint of saltiness in the peanut butter middle.

Fried rice also takes my fancy, particularly if the levels of soy sauce and vegetables are just right.

So, I’m on the hunt for other foods that possess this fabulous flavour combination. Any tip-offs?

    Have you ever tried those asian dried plums (prunes)?

    I second the dried plums, if you’re a fan of the sweet and salty combination! The husband loves lemon crisps but I can’t get over the salt combined with the oozing lemony sweetness…

    I just found a Nigella recipe in the latest delicious magazine for salted caramel sauce, to be poured over icecream, brownies or apple pie. She writes the same way that she talks :) Do you want me to email the recipe?

    I was going to say salted caramels too. My sister in law made some for us at Christmas time. Very yummy (and unhealthy) but very moreish. Was very glad the gestational diabetes was gone…
    They are a bit of a trendy sweet at the moment, so I’m sure you could find a recipe via google. You might need a candy thermometer to make them though since boiling of sugar is involved…

    I was passed on a killer salad recipe
    Rocket
    Sweet potato
    Halumi
    Apple
    Walnuts
    And balsamic dressing

    I love a good sweet/salty salad
