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 how to make vinaigrette.
