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.
Carrot-raisin salad is a salad.
It has two core ingredients: carrot and raisin.
It’s often served with a mayo-based dressing, and sometimes pineapple. But neither of those are required.
