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.
My girlfriend calls lettuce salad. A bowl of lettuce she calls a salad
I do the same thing. It’s green and healthy… That’s clearly a salad.
