This citrus vinaigrette recipe makes a quick and easy homemade dressing that is delicious with so many dishes!
I love making my own dressings. There’s just nothing like being in the mood for a certain flavor or texture of a dressing and being able to whip it up in just a few minutes for your family. It is also wonderful to know every single ingredient that goes into it and be able to customize it to my family’s tastes and needs.
Take this citrus vinaigrette for instance. I love to make it for salads and other dishes that need a little brightening or a “zing” as my Mama likes to call it.
It is absolutely delicious with avocado-based salads or even more earthy flavors like asparagus or beets and definitely helps to tone down the peppery flavor of arugula. It is also fabulous with grilled chicken, as well as fish and seafood.
In other words, I am drizzling this vinaigrette on everything lately!
For my citrus vinaigrette, I add just a touch of honey to the dressing to sweeten it and balance the acidity of all the citrus and the vinegar. But, you can omit this if you prefer.
Here’s my Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe. I hope you love it!

I can’t find champagne vinegar. What else can I use?
Hi Sherrie,
Champagne vinegar is very mild, so I would suggest a white wine vinegar or a rice vinegar in place of the champagne if you are unable to find it.
Loved it, and it was so easy! Just whipped this up for a salad and a drizzle over Chilean Sea Bass. Yummy! Thanks so much!
I’m so glad you loved it, Paula. I bet it was delicious on your Sea Bass. That sounds perfect! xo
I used apple cider vinager it tasted amazing!
Very light and tasty! I didn’t have champagne vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar and organic sugar instead of honey. Tasted great!
Can I substitute the champagne vinegar for another type? I’m from FL – Tampa and cant find it on the shelf.
The rest of the ingredients are things I keep here in my kitchen.
Thanks!
Can I omit champagne vinegar? Coz can’t find In my country.
Hi Robyn, could you check and make sure the amount of champagne vinegar and oil are correct? I made this dressing tonight and the vinegar was way too strong, overpowering all the other flavors. Could the vinegar and oil amounts be reversed?
Thank you so much for letting me know, Carol. I apologize that they were indeed reversed!
Thanks Robyn. we eat A lot of fish and chicken and this vinaigrette will really br good with both.Thank you for all of the recipes. God bless.
I hope you enjoy it, Liz!
Simple and delicious, love it!!!
