Agreed. The things with "salad" in the name that I've gotten at Mediterranean restaurants have been delicious combinations of multiple ingredients. The things with "salad" in the name that I've gotten at American restaurants have been bowls of lettuce with a few other things thrown in.


Sure, that's true at bad American restaurants. There are many great salads to be found in America.


Never had potato salad? Carrot salad? Pasta salad? Egg salad? Three-bean salad? Fruit salad? Ambrosia salad? Barley salad? Corn salad? Pimento cheese salad?

I've had all of these served in restaurants in the US serving "American" food.


vel0city says "* Three-bean salad? Fruid salad? Ambrosia *"

Got me at the "fruid salad: searched for it but found only "Freud" which sounded distinctly unappetizing.


Sometimes, my dear, a cucumber salad is just a salad.


Haha yes typo, my bad. Just edited, fruit salad.
