I just watched a guy cover tinned beans in mayonnaise and call it bean salad.
Edit: This is the definition of salad people.
USian restaurants: no we don't have any vegan or even vegetarian salads, but if you want we can charge you full price and just not put grilled chicken on top
One of my biggest pet peeves.
A "garden salad" that doesn't include the ½ inch of shredded cheese in the ingredient list 🤮
Where I am now has pretty solid vegan options on the menu but places I've worked that don't I've let front of house know if anyone they serve is vegan I'll come talk to them and we'll figure something out. I could do rice bowls of various flavors, burritos, a few pastas, it wasn't hard to improv a decent dish
Would you like another serving of Spaghetti-O hotdog salad?
Babe what's wrong? You've barely touched your gelatin marshmallow salad.
What the fuck. That's all I have to say honestly.
Midwest recipes are based on a dare.
The Midwest failing to beat the alcoholism charges.
please don't slander alcoholics like this, some of us have standards when it comes to food
Why do people point at 1 definition as though it's the only thing a word can mean. Most words have more than 1 definition plus there is no authority over language so the meaning of a word follows usage.
I'm sorry. I'm illiterate
Good on you comrade. Don't let the red fash teach you how to read, they only want to propagandize you more easily.
If you fuckers come for my potato salad imma turn leftist unity into leftist dissonance.
Also, fleischsalat is amazing and there are even good vegan options for it in the mean time I’m told.

A salad is when you mix stuff together.
Etymology of salad from Wiktionary
From Middle English salade, from Old French salade, borrowed from Northern Italian salada, salata (compare insalata), from Vulgar Latin *salāta, from *salāre, from Latin saliō, from sal (“salt”).
a salad is something salty
Potato salad or kartoffelsalat is a popular German dish that's been around longer than America's existence
Also I went to that site and you cut off the second definition 💀💀
My political days are over. NO MORE QUESTIONS
Ok but potato salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad are all good.
Also this Slovak fish salad looks good, but it doesn’t match your definition.
Post that definition in Eastern Europe to instantly trigger three national blood fueds and an ethnic cleansing.
like good marxists, we must apply the dialectical method to resolving this contradiction in the conditions of salad
im throwing marshmellows and mayonaise into a Niçoise we'll figure this out 
I got caught off guard at a Subway in Australia. The worker asked me what kind of salad do I want on my sandwich. I'm like, no thanks, just the sandwich. It took a minute or two for me to realize they consider salad to be all uncooked vegetables. Is that correct or was it maybe a small town thing (I was in Sale).
I think “salads” like that are mainly a midwestern boomer thing. The thing with salads I’ve seen more is people who think it’s mainly just chopped lettuce with ranch dressing (mayonnaise based sauce) and everything else is unnecessary. Even basic, common vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers are seen as overly “fancy”
bean is a vegetable
salad people
Also, the west wasnt won on salad. Or some shit. I saw it on a bumbersticker on some overcompensating jackass’s truck recently. So it has to be true.

Americans think salad just means food covered in mayonnaise, it's so fucking gross
No, things covered in whipped cream or submerged in Jello are salads too.
Are Americans asking you if you want some salad and then putting anything other than a green salad like the one pictured in your bowl?
If you're talking about bean salad, no one will be confused when it's beans. If you're talking about potato salad, no one will be confused when it's potatoes.
not strictly an American thing unfortunately. look up 'salad olivieh', it's the worst
yeah just ask any Spaniard about their "ensalada" rusa, same deal
