Citrus Champagne Vinaigrette

I love the transition from winter to spring. The flowers bloom, the trees bud, and it’s finally citrus season. Whip up this super easy Citrus Champagne Vinaigrette for your next spring salad. It’s light, tangy and refreshing. It’s also low carb, Whole30 approved and paleo!

O Olive Oil brand makes a great citrus champagne vinegar – available here (affiliate). Also, I LOVE my Kitchen Aide food chopper (affiliate). It has a well with just-the-right-sized hole for drizzling in olive oil. I highly recommend it.

Also – props to Serious Eats for making a foolproof basic vinaigrette recipe. All of my dressings are based off of his technique and base recipe.
