    “Salad” doesn’t mean healthy, it just means “item + goo.” Sometimes it’s veggies and dressing. Sometimes it’s fruit and their own juices. Ham, tuna, egg or chicken salad is just those items plus mayo. Add relish, celery and onions if you’re fancy. Sweet jello salads are jello chunks mixed with cool whip, fruit and nuts if you’re fancy. In a savory jello salad the jello is the goo and random bits of what ever veg and/or meat was in the fridge are the item.

      Yeah apparently we’re using very different definitions on this side of the Atlantic.

      a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, usually seasoned with oil, vinegar, or other dressing and sometimes accompanied by meat, fish, or other ingredients.

        The Midwest US is pretty well known for their “salads” of whatever the fuck gelatinous mess they want to throw together. It’s a loose definition of salad.
