Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Champagne are great choices for Salad Nicoise. 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 Arboleda Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.

Arboleda Chardonnay

Arboleda Chardonnay is bright and beautiful light yellow in color and very perfumed on the nose, with an exuberant side showing pronounced notes of tropical fruits such as papayas, pineapple, and a light touch of melon, along with a more complex and subtle side that developed in the barrel and recalling hazelnut, almonds, and a touch of toast. The palate is creamy and long with a delicious acidity that lends freshness and tension. This is a complex wine brimming with youthfulness and good structure leading to a long finish, all of which promise excellent longevity in the bottle.
