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 Pedroncelli Signature Selection Chardonnay. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Pedroncelli Signature Selection Chardonnay

Rich lemon, pear and honey notes in the bouquet lead to fresh flavors of apple, meyer lemon, and mango. The blend of the two Chardonnay lots adds both fruit forward qualities and toasted oak complexity. Highlighted by bright acidity, the wine finishes crisp with a long lingering finish.
