Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc

Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, and Sauvignon Blanc. 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 Hanna Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
