I don't think so. If you remove salt or sauce from salad then it's just cut up vegetables. And a sauce without salt won't be very popular too say the least.

- kbutler 8y agoSo the bowl of vegetables is not the salad, but the runny stuff in the bottle is? And so much for applesauce. sigh I guess that's no true sauce, man.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoIn French it's called compote de pommes which I would say is correct. It's a compote, not a sauce. The runny stuff is a sauce. Salad really just means adding salt to it. In Italy they don't use a sauce as such, but rather just add oil, vinegar and salt separately. But I get what you're doing. You're taking the extreme approach of "etymology never matters". I get it. I'm able to enjoy the etymology of words and the difference between a sauce and a compote and still say "apple sauce" when I'm talking to English speakers.
