There are actually salads without any greens and vegetables (except onions) here in Germany which are commonly called salad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurstsalat But that's not the kind of "salad" fatties prefer, because the dressing is made out of vinegar & oil "only". If a fattie is asked to bring a salad it will probably bring a big bowl of pasta salad with extra mayonnaise.
