Homemade Champagne Vinaigrette
The other dressings in your fridge will have to wait their turn since you’ll be making this delicious Champagne Vinaigrette on repeat!
It’s an epic drizzle over ALL your favorite salads because it’s smooth, tasty, and feels luxurious. No store-bought dressing can compete with this simple recipe.
You only need champagne vinegar, mustard, lemon, honey, and garlic. Combine them in the blender or food processor for a creamy texture or shake them in a jar. That’s it!
It’s a 5-minute and 5-star recipe you can store in the fridge for up to a week, although the jar will probably be empty before! And once it’s gone, try my drool-worthy Red Wine Vinaigrette recipe or my White Wine Vinaigrette.
What Does Champagne Dressing Taste Like?
When it comes to vinaigrettes, Champagne vinaigrette is in the milder-flavored spectrum. It’s not as tangy (vinegary) as others and has lightly sweet and citric notes from honey and lemon. If you like white wine vinaigrette, you will be delighted with this mellower dressing packed with flavor.
Ingredients
The mix of champagne vinaigrette with other flavorful ingredients yields a terrific dressing to pour over salads and everything you want!
Here’s what you need:
- Garlic clove: everything tastes better with garlic!
- Dijon mustard: adds flavor and consistency to the dressing.
- Champagne vinegar: the heart of this recipe!
- Lemon juice: use fresh lemon juice for better results.
- Honey: a sweet flavor to balance the tanginess of mustard and vinegar.
- Salt and pepper: what would we do without them?
- Olive oil: adds flavor and a nice texture to coat salads.

How to Store Leftover Champagne Dressing
I like to store this champagne vinaigrette inside a glass jar or a glass dressing bottle. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Separation is completely normal, so make sure to give it a good shake before each use and the champagne vinaigrette will have its smooth texture back.
