I would say the important distinction is in presentation. Was it a bowl of onion and cucumber mixed together with ranch? If so salad. Was it a plate with a pile of cucumber and a pile of onion, with ranch for dipping? If so crudites.
Does pouring the dip over the crudites transform it into a salad? So french fries are crudite? Does that mean cheese fries are a type of salad? I'm not waiting for your answer before getting my daily dose of salad in.
How I choose to read this:
Dieticians hate this one trick to make salads taste good!
Damn. The poutine place near by closed and now I want some.
I think pouring the dip over would make it a salad.
I don't know about cheese fries being a salad. I think a salad needs at least 2 ingredients not including dressing/garnish. So you'd need to do cheese fries with like fried peppers too make it a warm potato salad.
Crudités is French for raw things, so french fries aren't crudités. Unless they're raw... ugh.
