Wine and salade met kip pairings

A salad with chicken is best combined with a fresh, light red wine or with a slightly stronger white wine.

Wines that pair well with chicken salad include a Chardonnay, a fairly robust Chenin Blanc or a Pinot Gris. They are robust enough to grab the chicken, fresh enough to appeal to your salad. If you choose red, avoid tannins and wood aging; choose a light, 'fruit-based' wine.
