If I put broccoli and carrots in a bowl, would that qualify as a salad?

Question

Or do you need leafy green vegetables?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

They would need to be seasoned and dressed like a salad in order to be called a salad. Otherwise, they're just a side dish or crudités. I often make a cucumber salad, which simply consists of sliced cucumbers and onions and dressing (vinegar, spices, etc.)

Answer 2

You don't need 'leafy green vegatables' for it to qualify as a salad.

It just needs to be cold with some type of 'dressing'.

Answer 3

a person can Call it what ever they desire ..

... similar  behavior of    calling oneself

ANONYMOUS  ( not  identified by a Name  having no outstanding , individual  or unusual  features  unremarkable, used in support group for addicts of substance abuse 

  or using the word   SOMETHING :     a thing that is  unspecified  or unknown  used in various expressions indicating that a description or AMOUNT  being stated is  NOT exact

  SALAD  a dish  consisting  of mixed  pieces of food  with at least ONE RAW ingredient    ..

.....BE prepared to MIX and  either ingredient is RAW

  enjoy  the unremarkable

Answer 4

You can call it salad, food in a bowl, veggies in a bowl, carrots and broccoli in a bowl.

When eating alone, you don't have to name the dish or meal anything other than food. And a dish made up of only one vegetable, can be called a salad if you like. 

Answer 5

You do not have to add leafy greens. 

Answer 6

Well, egg salad does not have any leafy greens in it, nor does potato salad. 

Answer 7

Yes, it is a salad, and you don't need to include green vegetables to make a salad

Answer 8

Yes, it would qualify as a salad as the definition of salad is very loose. Salads do usually have a dressing, but not required.

Answer 9
