salad fork
Leftmost place setting
A salad fork is a smaller fork in a formal place setting, typically placed to the left of the dinner fork.
It has shorter, sometimes wider tines suited for piercing lettuce and other salad ingredients.
In casual settings, any fork used for salad becomes the salad fork by function rather than design.
