Herbed Champagne Dijon VinaigretteHerbed Champagne Dijon Vinaigrette recipe oil vinegar herbs dressing fresh

Everyone needs a good vinaigrette recipe on hand.  This one is it.  Robust enough to dress up a main dish salad, yet delicate enough to accentuate any accompanying flavors.

If you haven’t tried champagne vinegar before, you really need to.  Preferred by many chefs, champagne vinegar adds a delightful “brightness”  to a dish without tasting too vinegary.  It’s a designer vinegar that will add pizzazz to the plainest of salads.  Subtle, delicate, and refreshing, champagne vinegar is a wonderful choice for a vinaigrette dressing.

While this recipe calls for fresh parsley, tarragon and thyme, feel free to substitute with any herbs of your choice.

    Lovely classic vinaigrette recipe. I will add some shallots and tarragon to mine next time I make it.
