Merriam Webster says :
*any of various usually cold dishes: such as
a: raw greens (such as lettuce) often combined with other vegetables and toppings and served especially with dressing
b: small pieces of food (such as pasta, meat, fruit, or vegetables) usually mixed with a dressing (such as mayonnaise) or set in gelatin*
As such, even just cucumber would suffice.
Edit: in dutch, a "salade" has to accompanied by a dressing or vinaigrette, thus very much limiting what a salad is.
Just cucumber with yoghurt, some chopped dill, salt pepper and olive oil is a great salad. Add lots of garlic and it's a simple ~~Zaziki~~ ~~Tsaziki~~ ~~Zatziki~~ greek garlic dip.
But that’s six ingredients! And you have to chop the cucumber as well. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
You could also use pre-mixed yoghurt dressing but I like to be fancy sometimes.
