Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. 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. You could try Talbott Vineyards Kali Hart Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 27 dollars per bottle.
Talbott Vineyards Kali Hart Chardonnay
Talbott Vineyards Kali Hart Chardonnay
A pure fruit expression of our vineyard, Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart is lush and lively. Minimal winemaker influence allows Kali Hart Chardonnay to showcases the strength of Talbott's estate vineyards. The rich, inviting nose shows bright tropical notes that continue on the palate, where refreshing flavors of pineapple and honeydew are complimented by refreshing acidity. A generous mid-palate leads to a long citrus and tropical fruit finish with hints of French oak and minerality.
