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.
Something in a bowl with a dressing is salad.
Salad is more fun with multiple ingredients, but everything up there is still salad
So by your definition at least two ingredients are required for a salad.
Well, one ingredient is just that ingredient
Yes. Dry lettuce in a bowl is not salad.

Dry lettuce in a bowl is a honeymoon salad. Lettuce alone, undressed.
Noodles + olive oil + grated Parmesan = salad?
When the doctor tells me to eat more salads, yes
Only if you put it in a bowl
Well, there’s noodle salad. I guess pasta is a hot noodle salad, like cereal in milk is a cold soup.
