How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?
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.

Can we first define "salad"?
If it's cold ingredients, mixed together, then wilted iceberg lettuce and a gas station dressing packet is salad.
So two.
German potato salad is served hot. A salad is literally just any ingredients mixed together.
I‘m German and have eaten a lot of potato salad during my entire life. Not once has it been served hot
Not hot but „lauwarm“ or „lukewarm“ is very typical for same day fresh potato salad
At least down here in the south
Can't imagine potato salad with either vinegar or mayo tasting good hot
It doesn't even have to be cold. Look at pasta salad, or anything with grilled chicken or fresh croutons.
I'm not gonna claim a salad can't be hot, but I think of pasta salads as a cold dish. Maybe it depends where your from.
Potato salad is generally cold too, but there is also hot German potato salad.
