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.

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
