2 could have done 的正确理解（2022新全国卷1）
网友在前面提问时引用了2022新高考全国卷1的阅读B的一个段落：
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly boughtway too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
我这里也有一个疑问：句中的 could have made 应如何正确理解？

这里的 could have made 用于对过去情况的假设（过去没有这样做，但其实是可以这样做的）。句意：
Even worse, I had unthinkingly boughtway too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
更糟的是，我无脑地买得太多了。我扔掉的那些都可以做出六份沙拉。
根据上文，这里的语境背景是：我买的芝麻菜太多了，可以做出六份沙拉（虽然我没有真正做六份，但所买的量完全可以做出六份）。
