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.

What about potato salad, noodle salad and similar dishes containing cooked components?

Then you need also 2 uncooked ingredients I would say

So German potato salad isn't a salad then.
