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 that Jello cubes in whipped cream could be a basic Jello salad. That’s two ingredients, but it’s also arguably an instance of a one-ingredient salad, since the whipped cream dressing doesn’t count.
