salad bowl

Lettuce serving dish

A salad bowl is a large bowl for serving salad, typically wider than it is deep to allow tossing.

Figuratively, a salad bowl describes a multicultural society where different groups coexist while maintaining distinct identities—contrasted with the melting pot, where cultures blend together: America is more salad bowl than melting pot.
