Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, White Wine, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Sauvignon Blanc, Wine, Dry White Wine, Drink, Menu Item Type, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine are great choices for Fruit Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Pindar Peacock Chardonnay with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.

Pindar Peacock Chardonnay

Crisp, lively with hints of pear and apple, subtle notes of vanilla from oak aging. A great wine at a great price. Superb withy fish, veal, and cheeses. The ultimate food wine.
