oil and vinegar
Classic dressing pair
Oil and vinegar is a simple salad dressing made by combining vegetable oil (often olive oil) with vinegar, sometimes with added seasonings.
The two liquids don't naturally mix, separating into distinct layers when left to stand—which makes oil and vinegar a common metaphor for things that don't go together: Those two are like oil and vinegar.
