How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Lettuce alone is sufficient, but not necessary. As soon as you omit lettuce it takes multiple ingredients.

My nana calls that the “honeymoon salad”, lettuce alone

Ha! You beat me to it. My dad loved that joke.

"Do you have honeymoon salad?"

"What's honeymoon salad?"

"Lettuce alone, without dressing."
