Champagne Vinaigrette Tips
How do I store champagne vinaigrette?
We recommend storing champagne vinaigrette in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the vinaigrette separates during storage, give the covered jar a gentle shake before using.
Can you substitute onion for the shallot?
Yes, you can substitute white or yellow onion for shallots. But because shallots are smaller and have a sweeter, milder flavor, don’t make a 1:1 substitution. Otherwise, the onion flavor may be too overpowering. Green onions, which are also mild, can be used in place of shallots, too. Learn more about the
different types of onions.
What else pairs with champagne vinaigrette?
Champagne vinaigrette has great versatility and can be used to dress up any kind of mixed greens. It can also be used as a marinade for grilled fish and seafood. We recommend trying out this
champagne tilapia recipe and
egg-topped wilted salad.
What other vinaigrettes can I make?
Vinaigrettes are delicious and a snap to make. Try mixing together a
lemon vinaigrette,
Italian vinaigrette or
dijon vinaigrette to switch things up. Learn more about

Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Yum! Easy and very good.
Love the vinaigrette! Very light and refreshing. I substituted dried cranberries for the pomegranates, as they were out of season. This recipe is a keeper!
I was a little unsure about making this salad because I've never had a pomegranate seed, but it turned out absolutely awesome. Everyone loved it and had seconds. The dressing is so tasty - this salad will be a regular!
