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 One Maple Winery Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
