Salad
it's difficult to describe; mainly for me it needs lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber. On top of that, it needs to leave me feeling full, but not heavy. Any excess fat will spoil it and then it'll just be whatever with raw vegetables. A bit of chorizo is ok, but some "salads" I've ordered, where you get a full chicken breast, dripping in cheese and a bit of cooked lettuce under the cheese, well, that's not a salad.

What about potato salad then?

I was quite happy with the one I did.
New potatoes, cut in half, bit of butter whilst they were in the pan, give them a shake to coat. Little bit of mayo, plenty of chives, done.

They are nice with pesto on too

interesting
i have never tried this with spring onion. it will be done.

i was once making potato salad and pasta salad and rice salad (3 separate dishes!) as my starchy contribution to a bbq. my flat is on the second floor and i nearly dropped dead of shock when a voice said at the window:

"mmmmm. tatty salad."

fucking window-cleaners!

that's the american version of salad
i.e. take [ingredient] liberally smother with mayo = [ingredient] salad

Exactly
I wouldn't call it salad. It's more like a potatoeslaw.
