Vampire Kiss Salad + Cherry Vinaigrette

September 8, 2025 Amanda Plott

Brace yourself, fellow flavor fanatics, because this isn’t your typical leafy green snooze fest. The Vampire Kiss Salad is here to bite into your taste buds with a burst of juicy, tangy, and downright vampy goodness. Think dark, brooding greens, jewel-like cherries, and a vinaigrette so good it’s practically supernatural. Don’t worry—this salad’s only guilty pleasure is how healthy it is. No vampires were harmed in the making... except maybe your diet, in the best way possible.

Why “Vampire Kiss”?

The name comes from the deep, crimson cherry vinaigrette that stains every leaf like a kiss from the undead (in a totally delicious, non-creepy way). Plus, cherries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, giving you a boost that vampiric legends could only dream of. Leafy red greens adds iron and fiber, because even bloodsuckers need to keep their strength up. And to keep things interesting, this salad has a little crunch and nuttiness that’ll make you swoon faster than a late-night creature of the night…
