Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for 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 Prayers of Saints Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Prayers of Saints Chardonnay

Bright aromas of slightly toasted pears with underlying citrus notes lead to a heavenly mix of fresh pear and ripe melon flavors. The creamy yet juicy mouthfeel will have you thinking this wine was made with divine intervention.Be good and pair this wine with tuna and avocado tostadas, skillet-roasted lemon chicken and angel food cake.
