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. The The Calling Sullivan Vineyard Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 44 dollars per bottle.

The Calling Sullivan Vineyard Chardonnay

Beautiful concentrated ripe fruit and notes of creme brulee on the nose lead to a full palate of apple butter, ripe melon and hazelnut with integrated oak and a long persistent finish.
