October 5, 2025 Amanda Plott

Let’s toss the word salsa into the Mediterranean blender and see what dances out—Greek salsa! No, it's not about salsa dancing with a side of feta cheese, though that sounds like a party waiting to happen. We're talking about a vibrant, tangy, fresh side that takes the fiery heart of traditional salsa and marries it with the crisp, herbaceous soul of Greek cuisine. It’s like the culinary equivalent of a feta cheese and tomato love story with a lemony, zucchini-filled happy ending.

What Is Greek ‘Salsa’ Anyway?

The idea of Greek salsa isn't ancient or tradition-locked, but it’s an inspired mash-up that combines the bright, fresh ingredients of a Greek salad with the easy, chunky, spoon-it-on-anything attitude of salsa. Imagine the classic salsa components—tomatoes, onions, maybe peppers—getting a Mediterranean makeover with zucchini, kalamata olives, tangy feta, fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Bam! A saucy, chunky dip that’s guilt-free, fresh, and totally crave-worthy…

Then, enter burrata—a creamy, dreamy cheese that’s basically mozzarella’s fancy cousin who lives for indulgence. Finally, we drizzle on chili crisp, that fiery, crunchy condiment that adds just the right punch of heat balanced by a little crunch. It’s a knockout combo that’s light, fresh, but totally satisfying…

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).

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…
