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 know people who’s primary salad is just tomatoes and cucumbers with nothing else… no salt, no pepper, no onion, no dressing, no oil… I still consider it a salad, just not a good one.
