Lemon Champagne Vinaigrette

I always always make my own salad dressings. I love knowing exactly what I’m eating and a homemade dressing is always more vibrant and flavorful. This Lemon Champagne Vinaigrette is one of my favorite simple dressings. It’s bright and lemony and goes well with almost anything. I love serving it over a salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley and fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. I also spoon this over simple oven potatoes or roasted asparagus to add brightness. The possibilities are endless with this one!
