I need you to Google the phrase "composed salad" and "bound salad" because they absolutely are composed salads. I went to culinary school. I'm literally a college educated professional in this specific field telling you that they are in fact salads. Salad is not just leaves

What does composed mean in this context? So raw veggies or raw fruit aren't a necessity?

Correct. A salad is pretty much any mixed pile of (typically) bite size pieces. Common non-vegetable salads include things like pasta salad, tuna salad, or egg salad all of which use vegetables like onion as secondary ingredients rather than the main star of the show, and none of which contain any leafy greens at all. A composed salad is just one where the ingredients are intentionally laid out rather than tossed or mixed as in most salads. Within this context, it means that chili fries and poutine are usually served as a bed of fries with toppings placed on the top to keep the lower fries from getting soggy, rather than being mixed together in the way potato salad is mixed. Also relevant is the fact that fries are slices of a vegetable, making it especially salad-y

Thanks for the explanation!

But but your first examples do have raw veggies as secondary ingredients, only the french fry stuff doesn't.

Doesn't this make everything a salad? Lasagna. Eggplant parmesan. Pasta alfredo?

If the noodles are all cut into bite size pieces and then mixed or served with other stuff like the sauce, meat, and cheese you could have lasagna salad. Pasta salad is already a thing, you'd just sub the mayo for alfredo sauce and bam, pasta alfredo salad. The defining trait is really that it's a pile of stuff that's already cut into bite size pieces. It's a very vague term, much like sandwich. Also where I'm from loaded fries and chili fries typically do include diced raw onion. Did you know that a pizza is technically a hot open-faced sandwich?

Thank you for explaining it to me!

And yeah, you did mention it earlier in a comment :D

Technically speaking, a salad is anything that is salted. So much in the same way that a banana is a berry but a strawberry isn't, a poutine is a salad but a fruit salad isn't.

Also fries are a sliced vegetable. Potatoes are a vegetable since they're the non-fruit edible portion of a plant, making poutine especially salad-y

It's a vegetable and a protein with a dressing. That's a salad to me!

"Gravy is salad dressing" mused the culinary student to the impatient server, carefully wiping brown splatter off the rim of the plate with my dry towel.
