My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.
It’s a well-known fact that the “L” in “salad” stands for lettuce. So no lettuce, no salad.
Counterpoint: Egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, potato salad, jello salad.
Counter counterpoint: Jello salad is not a salad, but a crime against humanity.
Jello salad is very much a salad, it’s right there in the name.
