Nah - first salad I had at university was finely cut broccoli with ranch dressing!

Please read my top post. Individual ingredients -

Ahhh, I´m with you now.
How about lemon supremes?

Well, tripe doesn't particularly have a great texture for a salad.
And banana is also something I would never put in a salad unless its a crispy fried plantain.

Although at a push, a ripe but firm banana might just work in gado gado.

Definitely marshmallows.
And Turkish Delight.

Nobody mentioned ambrosia salad.

My family uses banana in homemade fruit salad. Slices go into individual bowls so it's fresh each time and doesn't discolor if there are leftovers.

No Indonesian would do that, unless you're talking about a plantain which I already mentioned.

Yeah sure a fruit salad, but I was thinking just savory salad.

Of course they wouldn´t - but a Venezuelan just might. You´d definitely have to cook the plantain first, and a fried or even a boiled plantain in a salad, dunno, doesn´t rock my boat!
And just thinking out loud - there´s a spicy "Fruit Salad" I sometimes use, (Rudjak) with diced pineapple, green mango, peaches, cucumbers, spring onions and a tamarind/chile/fish sauce/cane sugar dressing. Fresh banana might just work there as well...

I should mention that 'supreme' in terms of fresh fruit is an American term. But I know what you mean and I wouldn't have any problem at all including that in a salad. Charred would be good.

Lots of examples both cooked and raw of that. I've used it myself in salad.

Ranch dressing at Oxford University in the 70's?

I was going to say any sort of candy, but then I asked Professor Google and she showed me several fruit-type Salads with cut-up Snickers bars!!!

Don´t know whether they´d have actually called it that,(they´d probably got some fancy French name) but it was definitely at St Hilda´s College
Could have been salad cream with pickle juice in it....

Here´s another ingredient then.
Kidneys.

Read the top post - it has to be a basic individual ingredient not something 'already made' from a mix of ingredients.
