Champagne Vinaigrette

Champagne vinaigrette is an elegant yet simple dressing. It’s incredibly versatile and instantly elevates any salad recipe with a fresh, bright flavour. When it comes to a versatile salad dressing that can be used on a wide array of salads, this champagne vinaigrette can’t be beat. It pairs just as beautifully with peppery arugula as it does mild baby spinach. I also love this champagne vinaigrette with spring and summer vegetables, like asparagus, fennel and avocado. And it’s equally delicious as a marinade on white fish and salmon.

1/3 cup Champagne vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 lemon, freshly juiced
1 small shallot, finely diced
1 tsp. pure honey
¼ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Add all of the ingredients except the olive oil to a mixing bowl and whisk together. Slowly add the olive oil and whisk vigorously until the dressing is combined.

Makes 8 servings.
