Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Salad. 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 Brick & Mortar Manchester Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.
