“Salad” doesn’t mean healthy, it just means “item + goo.” Sometimes it’s veggies and dressing. Sometimes it’s fruit and their own juices. Ham, tuna, egg or chicken salad is just those items plus mayo. Add relish, celery and onions if you’re fancy. Sweet jello salads are jello chunks mixed with cool whip, fruit and nuts if you’re fancy. In a savory jello salad the jello is the goo and random bits of what ever veg and/or meat was in the fridge are the item.
