In the mid-century America, Jell-O and pudding desserts, particularly those incorporating ingredients like fruit, vegetables, nuts, were often referred to as "salads"! At the time, the term "salad" had a broader meaning, encompassing dishes with various ingredients mixed together, often with a dressing or with gelatin, that could be served as a side dish or a dessert.
