    My joke about being from Iowa is that you could have a salad potluck without ever seeing a piece of lettuce! My family’s wildest is Snicker Salad, Tapioca Salad (marshmallows and mandarin oranges), and Cranberry Salad.

        Weirdly, while Snicker salad does have Snickers in it, the base is chopped green apples. (At least when I have seen it.)

          So what does the word salad actually mean then? So far it appears to be a mix of anything, served in a large bowl.

            That’s pretty much it, it’s not far removed from Jell-O salads with other unhealthy crap added to them.

      And you eat them as a side to the main dish, not as a dessert. Dessert comes later

      Tapioca salad is a Thanksgiving staple in my family. Leave the canned cranberry jam at home, thanks.
