Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine. 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 Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay

Nickel & Nickel's 2000 Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay is the second wine of this varietal to be introduced in the Nickel and Nickel portfolio. Produced in Carneros, a cool and breezy appellation renowned for producing noteworthy Chardonnay, the wine offers aromas of tropical fruit and sweet oak. A touch of malolactic fermentation brings forth ripe pineapple, pear, apple, citrus notes on the palate, which are accented by hints of vanilla and spice from the oak. The wine's lovely texture and bright acidity meld into a lengthy and flavorful finish.
