Vampire Salad Recipe for Halloween

This Vampire Salad is a spooky blend of colors and flavors that’s perfect for Halloween gatherings. With dark greens, roasted beets, and a garlic-packed dressing, it’s fun, tasty, and has a touch of “vampire-proof” flair.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or romaine)
  • 1 cup roasted or pickled beets, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese or feta, crumbled (optional)
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds (for added crunch)

Garlic Vinaigrette Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (add more for extra “vampire-proof” protection!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Steps

  1. Prepare the Salad Base:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine your mixed greens, beets, cherry tomatoes, and black olives for a colorfully dark salad base.
  2. Make the Garlic Vinaigrette:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This dressing brings a “bite” to the salad and, with its garlic flavor, will keep any vampires at bay!
  3. Assemble the Salad:
    Drizzle the garlic vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Add Final Touches:
    Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds on top for a creamy and crunchy finish.

Presentation Tips

Serve your Vampire Salad in a deep-colored or dark bowl for an eerie, dramatic effect. Decorate the table with All Cotton and Linen’s Halloween-themed tablecloths, or place their orange and black placemats under the bowl to give the setup a festive look. Arrange a few whole garlic cloves on the side, and if you’re feeling creative, add tiny vampire-themed decorations around the table. This simple touch will make your salad not only delicious but visually striking for your Halloween spread.

Halloween Style Made Easy

The Vampire Salad pairs beautifully with All Cotton and Linen’s Halloween table decor. Consider adding black and orange cloth napkins and a themed table runner to enhance the ambiance of your Halloween feast. With their collection, your table will look as vibrant as the flavors in this recipe!

FAQ

Yes! You can prepare the salad and dressing separately a few hours before. Just combine and toss right before serving.

Feta cheese works well, or you can skip the cheese entirely if you prefer a dairy-free version.

Add a handful of cooked quinoa or chickpeas for extra protein and texture.

Sure! A balsamic glaze or a simple lemon vinaigrette would also taste delicious.

All Cotton and Linen’s Halloween kitchen towels and placemats in orange and black are great additions to give your table a spooky and stylish touch.
