Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Salad can be paired 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 Willamette Valley Vineyards Dijon Clone Chardonnay with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

The nose opens with aromas of lemon, pear, hazelnut and honey. The bouquet moves into a creamy medium-bodied sip offering flavors of orange, sweet cream, vanilla, caramel and clove. Balancing acidity leaves the wine refreshing, with a lingering finish and ideal for food pairing.Pair with rich seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or seafood scampi, chicken pot pie or creamy soups, rice or potato dishes, fresh salads with vinaigrettes and hard cheeses like aged white cheddar.
