How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

I would argue the minimum number of ingredients is two.

Ham, cheese, and mayo?

[–] troutsushi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ham, cheese, and mayo it is.

[–] Terevos@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ham, cheese, mayo, and some croutons.

Or how about ham, cheese, mayo on some crunchy crusty bread (otherwise known as toast).

Ham and cheese toasted sandwich is now a salad.
