Print Recipe

A light and zesty vinaigrette featuring dry brut champagne, olive oil, and a touch of honey, perfect for brightening salads and grilled dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) dry brut champagne or sparkling wine
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (optional: parsley, tarragon, or chives)

Instructions

  1. Finely mince the shallot. Measure out the champagne, olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine champagne, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk or shake vigorously until fully incorporated.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously or shaking the jar to emulsify the dressing.
  4. Stir in the minced shallot, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add fresh herbs if using, and mix well.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning; add more honey if too sharp or more champagne/vinegar if too thick.
  6. Let the vinaigrette rest for 10 minutes if desired to meld flavors and soften shallots.
  7. Shake well before serving and drizzle over salad greens, fresh veggies, or grilled seafood.

Notes

Use a dry brut champagne or sparkling wine for best flavor. Slowly add olive oil to emulsify properly. Let vinaigrette rest for 10 minutes to meld flavors. Store refrigerated up to 3 days and shake before use. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
