Salads are dishes without a fixed structure. You can randomly rearrange the ingredients without changing it into another dish.
For example, a pizza is salad on top of dough, a burger is salad between buns, and a burrito is salad wrapped in a tortilla. But as a whole, pizzas, burgers, and burritos each have a strict, defined structure, so they aren't salads, they just contain a salad component.
Additionally, anything made mostly of liquid by volume is a soup or beverage, not a salad.
- dmichulke 1mo agoWatermelon salad?
- avallach 1mo agoWatermelon pieces are made mostly of water, but are solid as a whole, not liquid. You can't pour them. And if you actually blend them into a liquid, then you get watermelon juice or soup. (Soup vs beverage is a distinction based on the mode of serving, in a glass vs bowl+spoon)
- dmichulke 1mo agoI think my main issue is that the spectrum goes from entire melon -> salad -> slush? -> beverage with decreasing side length of the cut pieces. So both the fixed structure from your definition (" Salads are dishes without a fixed structure") and solid/liquid definition don't feel really tangible to me. YMMV
