why is pasta suddenly considered a "salad" when you dump mayonnaise on top of it? i've never heard of macaroni "salad" until I went to the states on a trip last month and it's fascinating the differences in what different countries will consider salad.

A salad is a dish consisting of mixed, mostly natural ingredients. They are typically served chilled or at room temperature, though some can be served warm. Condiments and salad dressings, which exist in a variety of flavors, are often used to enhance a salad.

We have pasta salads in Italy, but ours are based on vinaigrette rather than mayonnaise.
That said, I like the American version, too, so long as it's not too sweet (stop adding fucking sugar to everything) and doesn't have too much mayonnaise. Six-to-eight spoons of mayo is enough for 500g of pasta, IMO

Italian potato salad is peeled potato boiled in salted vinegar, dressed with olive oil, garlic and parsley then cooled.
When I make Ameritato salad, I use about 400g of veg, carrot, celery and onion (and occasionally red bell pepper), per 600-700g of peeled potato.
I cut the carrots into fine short shreds, the celery into thin Cs and the onion (also pepper, if using) into very fine dice (but not quite brunoise). Vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise and SeCrEt HeRbS aNd SpIcEs AnD sEaSoNiNgS get mixed with mashed, boiled egg yolks, veg and chopped boiled egg whites are added then stirred in before, finally, folding in freshly boiled potatoes.
When serving, I leave shakers of cayenne and good quality paprika next to the bowl as well as a pepper grinder. I don't like those things in the salad, but they're nice on top and cookout guests are fucking animals who will stir shit into other shit.

The key word is “considered.” Salad typically means vegetables, maybe some protein, other condiments and a light dressing. Nobody thinks macaroni salad, potato salad or even broccoli salad is healthy in the way a basic ‘salad’ is. I mean a Caesar salad is called that but it’s nutritionally empty romaine lettuce with creamy dressing, croutons and cheese. Waldorf salad similar.

Then you have things like tuna salad and chicken salad which are mostly used as a sandwich filler or, more confusingly topped onto a bed of greens. And of course fruit salad which is just mixed cut fruit chunks.

I admit it doesn’t make sense but I think some of the confusion comes from British English calling “salad” what we call “greens.”

The problem with most of these that you’d get from a deli or something is there’s way too much mayo. It’s like pasta/egg/chicken/etc just suspended in mayonnaise. When it’s a lightly coated dressing, mayonnaise heavy but seasoned with mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire etc then it’s perfect.

The question I'd ask is why you're getting fixated on the name of something? The name does not determine your justification in eating something. You sound like someone being angry at being a fatty, because you're eating loads of pasta salad, and blaming the fact it has 'salad' in the name, since you automatically believe salad to be healthy.
