Wine Pairing
Okra, sometimes referred to as “lady’s finger,” comes in green and red. Both varieties taste the same. It’s frequently used in Southern American cuisine and is a staple in gumbo. However, some people find it unappealing due to its slimy texture. But, with this recipe, you won’t even notice that. Okra is rich in nutrients and has antioxidant properties. This tomato salad recipe is a perfect side dish to any heavy meals.
This tomato salad is an elevated version of a classic southern salad. Pair with Gruner Veltliner and other light white wines. Here are our top choices:
- Sauvignon Blanc
- Pinot Blanc
- Vermentino
