We're Talking Light Salad!

A great salad doesn't need to be an afterthought, and neither does the drink that goes with it. Fresh leaves, crisp vegetables, herbs and zingy dressings call for something equally bright and refreshing, with enough acidity to keep everything feeling lively without overpowering the food.

Crisp white wines, dry rosés, pét-nat and refreshing lagers are all brilliant choices, while light saisons and wheat beers can add a little extra character. The dressing often matters more than the salad itself, with citrus, herbs or creamy cheeses all nudging the pairing in different directions.
