In a small bowl, whisk together the Champagne vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while constantly whisking to create an emulsion. This will allow the dressing to have a creamy consistency without separating.
Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of herbaceous flavor.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the Champagne Vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before using. Drizzle over your favorite mixed greens, vegetables, or use as a zesty marinade for grilled chicken or fish.
