salad bars

Self-serve greens

A salad bar is a self-service buffet station offering ingredients for assembling salads—typically greens, vegetables, dressings, and toppings.

Common in restaurants and cafeterias, salad bars let diners customize their plates: I just hit the salad bar for lunch.

The format has expanded to include prepared salads, soups, and other cold items.
