Would Mirin work instead of champagne vinegar? It’s hard to find champagne vinegar.
This dressing is amazing! I made it for the first time this week and we have almost used it all up! I will be making it again and again- right mixture of tangy and sweet! I love it!
This dressing is a keeper! After moving across the country, we had no dressing in the fridge so I remembered Lena’s salad dressing and decided to try it out. It’s so easy to make and absolutely delicious! No more store bought dressing for us! (I had at least 10-15 store bought bottles in the fridge before the move, all gross). Thanks Lena!
Such a good dressing! Seriously obsessing over it!
Love loved this Vinaigrette! Perfect flavor. Making this recipe inspired me to make my own dressings more often, instead of store bought. So much fresher, and easy to make!
