New food hit tested: Oreos with salsa

I like nothing better than dunking Oreos in a glass of milk. Did you know there’s even an optimal dipping time? TikTokers, on the other hand, prefer to leave the milk in the fridge and dip their cookies in… salsa. And, um, does that taste good?

We’ve already taken quite a few recipes from TikTok. Some are tastier than others, but generally speaking, they’re effective recipes you can whip up in no time. When it comes to food combinations, though, it’s sometimes a mystery how people come up with them in the first place.

Golden combo

Sweet and savory always go well together. At least, often enough. How about madeleines with Gruyère, pineapple on your pizza (yes, Team Hawaii!) or the classic sea salt caramel? And since an Oreo cookie is sweet and salsa is savory, it’s not even such a crazy idea. But is it actually a good match?

Uhhhh

Maybe you saw this coming, but dipping an Oreo in salsa is a complete disaster. The Oreo gets unpleasantly soggy from the wet salsa, and the flavors together don’t just make you raise an eyebrow—they also make your stomach do a U-turn.

So, my tip? Just dip those cookies in that glass of milk, use them for a cheesecake base, turn them into ice cream or make this sushi. Anything goes, as long as you don’t dip them in that salsa!
