how is egg,tuna,or chicken when mixed with mayo considered a salad?

Answer 1

Well, silly, not salad in a veggie salad but salad as in a spread. Kind of how mayo or miracle whip is sometimes called Salad spread or a salad dressing. Ponder something else and just let this one go.

One definition from Princeton that I found states that a salad is "...food mixtures either arranged on a plate or tossed and served with a moist dressing..."
