Salad bars provide lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for people to eat. Many restaurants have salad bars. You can make delicious salads from the vegetable options. Vegetables are very healthy and give you lots of nutrition. Vegetarians also need to be sure to eat lots of protein. There are many vegetables that have protein. Avocado, beans, and spinach all have protein.

Some salad bars are all-you-can-eat. This means you can eat all the salad under the sun. When you finish your first salad, you can go back to the salad bar for a second salad. Salad bars are set up on long tables. Some salad bars have a glass top to protect the food. These glass tops are called sneeze guards. Eating food that someone else has sneezed on would be gross. The sneeze guard will protect the salad bar from a bounty of germs.

Listen as Marni tells Kelsey about healthy salad bars in this English lesson.
