FAQs

Q: Can I use another vinegar instead of champagne vinegar?
A: Yes. White wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar work well, but change the taste slightly.

Q: Do I have to use mustard?
A: Mustard helps the dressing emulsify. You can skip it, but the oil and vinegar may separate faster.

Q: How long does the dressing keep?
A: Keep it in the fridge up to 5 days. Shake before each use.

Q: Can I make a larger batch?
A: Yes. Keep the oil-to-vinegar ratio close to 3:1 and adjust seasonings.

Q: Is the honey required?
A: No. Honey balances acidity. Skip it if you want a sharper dressing.
