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.

If I cut a slice of pizza in half and add ranch, can I also call that a salad?

Salad because pizza is classed as a vegetable in your country?

tomato, tomatoe. Not that I'd ever put tomatoes in a cucumber salad. That's heathen shit.
