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. One wine you could try is Alderbrook Winery Chardonnay. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Alderbrook Winery Chardonnay

Aromas of pineapple and mango are accented with vanilla, anise and coconut. The mouth is full with hints of pear and butter, with a long, toasted almond finish. This wine pairs well with Fennel & Lemon Shrimp Salad, Sea Scallops with Mango Salsa, Lobster with roasted Corn Sauce, Chicken w/ Applewood Smoked Bacon & Wild Rice, Pumpkin Risotto with Sage, Salmon w/ Lemon Saffron Sauce.
