I'll agree if you agree a Cheeseburger is a salad. Cheese, lettuce, onion, meat, bun (croutons), sauce/condiment (dressing).

i said the salad has to have greens, not any dish having greens becoming a salad i do wish a cheeseburger was a salad though

This is so stupid. What you're describing is already literally called "garden salad." Salad is derived from Latin meaning "salted." In Thailand and Laos they have meat salads. A salad is just mixed ingredients. You don't get to redefine words just to suit your own ignorance.

sorry let me rephrase it ‘A salad must have greens' - did this help you absorb the information? i will die on this hill

Definition of "Salad" A mixture containing a specified ingredient served with a dressing.

by InevitableCupcake626 1 day ago

i know the definition, i've read the definition and i've read the etymology of the word and it's history i disagree

Sometimes opinions are unpopular for a reason. You've just proven that lol

That's not an opinion. You're just wrong about the definition of a word.

So what you're saying is you don't care about official definitions - you made up your own and everything else is wrong. Got it. That's not an unpopular opinion, that's factually wrong.

Factually wrong? What? My opinion that a salad must have greens? Do tell me more

Pickles or chives or dill in potato salad. There's some green in there. Your idea makes sense but your focus on the colour green is weird. Lots of vegetables without green. Heck there's even purple lettuce. You telling me that wouldn't be a salad?

Redefining words to meet our own personal preference seems to be what often passes for opinion.

Salad is one of those words that can mean different things. Like sandwich originally meant meat between bread. But by that definition a hotdog is a sandwich and if you use vegan stuff in your sandwich, it wouldn't be. You're upset the meaning of words has shifted, but they do that constantly. Language is fluid.

if you use vegan stuff in your sandwich, it wouldn't be. So, like, I don't have any issue with vegans putting things between bread, but the minute they start calling it a sandwich I feel like it devalues my sandwich that I worked so hard to construct with meat between bread, a sandwich is between a man and a woman, err... I mean meat between two breads, but not in-bread... Eww

This has an immature feeling to it. Tomato salad, spelt salad, greek salad... all of them can be made helathy and without greens

Is a typical salad with leafy greens and a ton of vinaigrette or other dressing still a salad if it's not healthy?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

no if it's loads of dressing then it becomes a dressing-based dish, like a soup

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Not that much. Maybe 4-5 tbsp

Lettuce has little to no nutritional value yet for a lot of salads its the only green vegetable

You cannot claim this as an unpopular opinion when it's just straight up wrong. Sorry you don't like the meaning of the word salad but that doesn't mean you get to change it.

Something not being healthy unless it's got a leaf in it is a wild take.

This is unpopular, but it's not an opinion. It's ignorance. You simply don't know what the word salad means and think it originated from greens.
