Green and pink may not be a popular fashion pairing, but those two colors look great together on your dinner plate. Specifically, we're talking the flaky, tender pink of perfectly cooked salmon, the kind that falls apart on your fork in just the right ways. And the green, the feisty jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro chimichurri, that adds its perfect spicy burst to any forkful. Now that you've paired those colors in food, feel free to wear those pink pants and that green shirt to work.
