How do you define "a lot of different ingredients"? Three to four?
Four to six? I can make a salad for myself from lettuce or a
combination of greens, cucumber, onion, tomato, olives on the side. If
I use a slicing tomato, I might use half; if I use small cherry or grape
tomatoes, perhaps three; I regularly use only part of a cucumber at one
time in a salad; green onions or a slice of larger one; olives or not;
green pepper or not‹a slice or two.
