Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the Champagne vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while constantly whisking to create an emulsion. This will allow the dressing to have a creamy consistency without separating.

Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of herbaceous flavor.
Step 4
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Step 5
Transfer the Champagne Vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Shake well before using. Drizzle over your favorite mixed greens, vegetables, or use as a zesty marinade for grilled chicken or fish.
