Abstract: A portable table top salad bar includes a collapsible base frame made from a plastic material for enclosing six foam or plastic inserts therein. The top opening of the inserts is closed by two dome-shaped lids which are made from a styrofoam or plastic material. A flexible vinyl liner is placed in the open space formed by the inserts for supporting salads and food items thereon. The liner includes a valve which opens to the exterior for draining-off water. The salad bar is constructed and arranged so as to be collapsed to one-half of its full size.
