Champagne Vinaigrette, low-fat, low-calorie and just plain delish! Easy to prepare and ready in about 5 minutes! Perfect on salads, quinoa, and roasted veggies! #paleo #lowcarb #lowfat #keto #vegan
Okay folks – get ready to never buy store-bought salad dressing again! Don’t be disappointed, this is not made with champagne, but with champagne vinegar! Don’t worry, you are saving those extra calories so you can , if so inclined have that glass of champagne!! I know it is a convenience to use store-bought salad dressing! Seriously though, this dressing takes literally 5 minutes and is super delicious, healthy and lo-calorie!
The huge benefit to making your own vinaigrette:
- Controlling your ingredients allows you to lower fat and calories.
- Buying vinegars and oil in bulk at food warehouse stores is very cost effective.
- You are eating real food. No preservatives and things you can’t spell or identify the ingredients on a bottle.
- Feel free to add in extra ingredients to any homemade vinaigrette to benefit your health. ie: tahini, chia seeds, flax turmeric.
This champagne vinaigrette is super yum on salads, grains, veggies, and you can even use as a marinade for chicken or any meat you choose! I always make this with Kale and Quinoa Salad with Pomegranates! Truly one of the best combo’s around is that pairing. However, we do keep this vinaigrette in the fridge because it is great with any salad. I love it with tomatoes and cucumbers in the summer too!
How to Make Easy and Tasty 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. I love it with salads.
- I use agave as a sweetener. I haven’t used pure maple syrup in this yet. If not vegan, use honey if agave is not available.
- This is an easy dump 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.

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

I make my own dressings and vinaigrette when possible. Most have high fructose corn syrup and I don’t need those extra useless calories
Saidah Washington recently posted…DIY Framed Greeting Card
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!
