Champagne Vinaigrette, low-fat, low-calorie and just plain delish! Easy to prepare and ready in about 5 minutes! Homemade salad dressings use real ingredients, no preservatives and takes minutes to prepare! Perfect on salads, quinoa, and roasted veggies!
I cannot stress how easy it is to make homemade vinaigrette at home.
As a food blogger you would think I have it all planned, well that is so not true! I do cook a lot! Sometimes it’s the 8th time I have made Grilled Mexican Pork Chops because I want to ensure the recipe works, lol. But there are many days scramble to make dinner. Having easy recipes made ahead can really help get a meal on the table.
One of my go-to always in the fridge recipe is my Champagne Vinaigrette!
Champagne Vinaigrette:
Champagne Vinaigrette is super yum on salads, grains, veggies. You can use it as a marinade for veggies, chicken, pork, and beef. The salad dressing is perfect for this Kale and Quinoa Salad with Pomegranates!Truly one of the best combos around.
We make this vinaigrette a lot and keep it in the fridge for our salads and an easy marinade for chicken and beef too.
The benefits of a homemade salad dressing:
- Controlling the ingredients allows you to lower fat and calories.
- Buying vinegars and oil in bulk at food warehouse stores is very cost effective.
- No preservatives in homemade vinaigrettes.
- Feel free to add in extra ingredients to any homemade vinaigrette. ie: tahini, chia seeds, flax turmeric.
How long does Champagne Vinaigrette store in the fridge?
This dressing goes fast because everyone loves it. Well covered, it does keep for about 5-6 days in the fridge.
Does champagne vinaigrette contain alcohol?
This vinaigrette is made with champagne vinegar so it is safe for kids to enjoy!
What salad ideas can I make with Champagne Vinaigrette?
Detox Salad : This salad dressing would be great with this salad.
Grilled Chicken Asparagus Salad: Feel free to change up dressings and use this vinaigrette.
Some other salad dressings/vinaigrettes I love:
Avocado Buttermilk Salad Dressing: A personal favorite!
Maple Cider Vinaigrette: Love this salad dressing and it is also a great marinade.
Mango Jalapeno Salad Dressing from Kylee Cooks is a delicious salad dressing!
Honey Mustard Dressing from Life’s Ambrosia is awesome!

How to Make Homemade Champagne Vinaigrette:
- Use a blender to blend ingredients because it gives the salad dressing a light, fluffy, creamy consistency! Yet I am not using any cream!
- Avocado oil is my favorite for this dressing! It has more antioxidants than olive oil and more Vitamin E. Great on salads.
- Use agave as a sweetener. If not vegan, use honey if agave is not available.
- This is an easy salad dressing. All ingredients go into blender. Blend well. Refrigerate till ready to eat.
- Store in the fridge for about 5-6 days if it lasts that long.

The best salad dressing ever! Thanks Eileen. Love your recipes
I am so happy you are enjoying the salad dressing Susan! Keep enjoying!
We had this Champagne Vinaigrette tonight with your kale salad and it was awesome. I made a double batch and I am so glad because my husband dipped bread into it all night. I am making this again tomorrow
So very kind of you Kathleen. I am thrilled you love the vinaigrette. I am glad your hubs enjoyed the vinaigrette with his bread too. Mine does the same !
I just started experimenting wih homemade dressings and this one sounds so good. I am going to try this with dinner tomorrow night.
It is so easy and delish – you won’t go back to a bottled dressing
I’ve been told that homemade dressing is delicious. This one looks like it is really creamy and packed with flavor.
It is really tasty and it is creamy without adding calories. It gets the creaminess from blending the dressing in the blender.
This looks so good and easy to make! Although I did get really excited when I saw champagne:)
Everyone says that about the champagne
Oh what a great sounding salad dressing – I will definitely have to make it to try 🙂 x
Great, let me know how yours game out!
Yum this sounds like a delicious recipe I had to make some salad dressing over the weekend and I forgot all about this one
I hope you make it next time – a favorite
I love how easy this is to make. I can’t wait to try it.
It is so easy – a family favorite. I hope you try it
Oh my, that looks yummy. I can’t believe you can do this in five minutes. Gotta try this.
I hope you do – its so yummy!
I love making my own dressing. A blender makes it so easy too.
Absolutely – and home is so much better than store bought dressing
You had me at Champagne! I have never done a homemade dressing, but this would the one I would make if I did that. I am totally trying this!
This is an easy one to prepare – you will never want a store bought one again
I never thought to make my own salad dressing, what a fantastic recipe!
Thank you Marsha – this is a favorite in our house!
Quick and easy salad dressing…. Thanks for sharing

I make my own dressings and vinaigrette when possible. Most have high fructose corn syrup and I don’t need those extra useless calories
You are so right – It is incredible once we read the ingredients on store bought – alot of sugar and preservatives. With home made we control everything that goes into the vinaigrette and it is low cal and tasty!
I had no idea about champagne vinegar – have to check it out for sure. I prefer to make my own salad dressings as much as possible. They taste so much better and are also healthier that the store-bought ones.
I completely agree. Homemade vinaigrettes really are simple to make and the flavor is so tasty. This is one of my favorites and I even use it as a marinade
Champagne vinegar is one of my favorites. It’s light flavor works well just about everywhere, though it still brings flavor to the party.
I so agree
That looks amazingly delicious, I will have to try it! Thanks for the great recipe!
Thank you so much – enjoy – this is a really yummy vinaigrette
This looks so delicious. I’m not really a fan of these usually but I will try them, I like having a variety and I’ve never had a Champagne Vinaigrette before!
This is a really tasty vinaigrette – let me know how you like it if you give it a try

Yes, this is on my top 5 favorite vinaigrettes
I am so going to have to make this. It sounds delish!
We love this one – I hope you like it as much as my family and I do!
That sounds so delicious. I love vinaigrette dressings.
Thank you Ashleigh – I hope you enjoy!
The only dressing we’ve ever made from scratch is a wonderful garlic one. This one looks worthy enough to try!
