salad bar
Build-your-own greens
A salad bar is a self-service counter in a restaurant or cafeteria where diners assemble their own salads from an array of ingredients—greens, vegetables, dressings, and toppings.
The format extends to other foods arranged similarly: a breakfast bar, a taco bar.
Some establishments charge by weight; others offer unlimited trips for a fixed price.
