Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, 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. The Juve & Camps Reserva de la Familia 40th Anniversary Cuvee Cava with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
